Description: | An incomplete standstone disk weight of unknown date. Approximately 40% of the weight survives due to old breaks. The weight would have originally been circular in plan with a central circular perforation. The weight is now U-shaped. The remains of the perforation indicate that it would have originally had a diameter of approximately 16.3mm. The upper and lower faces of the weight are undecorated and broadly flat. The external and internal edges of the weight are straight. The stone is yellow -light brown in colour with mica inclusions. The surfaces of the weight are rough and uneven, partly due to the quality of the stone, but also due to damage caused by movement in the plough soil.Length: 51.49mm. Width: 32.52mm. Thickness: 13.07mm. Weight: 25.88gA comparable weight is recorded under reference LANCUM-B86AC5
