A central circular perforation runs through the weight and it is undecorated though pitted. Four deep rectangular perforations are present around the circumference of the object roughly mid-way up its length.The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is worn. The object is 45.1mm tall, 39.4mm in diameter and weighs 419g.Lead weights were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty without supporting archaeological context. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
