Description: | A complete conical lead weight (probably) of unknown date. It has a central hole running from top to bottom with a recessed ring around the hole on the base, probably as a result of the manufacturing process. Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses, including for measuring, weighing down nets, as curtain pulls and window weights etc). They are hard to date precisely although most are late Medieval - Post Medieval.
