Description: | A complete Medieval to post-Medieval cast lead flat weight, possibly for bullion (c. 1200-c. 1800).This weight is circular in plan, sub-rectangular in cross-section. It has raised decoration at the front and is flat at the rear. The sides taper slightly from the base towards the top. Decoration is in the form of a central cross pattée with a plain cross in each angle. The arms of the cross pattée do not reach the edge. There is a shallow groove at the rear which is probably accidental damage.This weight is greyish buff overall.Diameter: 38.32mm; thickness: 9.73mm. Weight: 98.66g.
