Description: | A complete, age uncertain, cast, lead alloy, probable steel-yard or pendant weight. The weight is a solid 'bell' shape with three rusty patches on the apex, two of these are in small distict areas from the base of an iron loop used for suspension and the other patch probably from the loop itself squashed flat over the apex. The weight has some wear but also several deep recent scratches especially on the base probably from agriculatural damage otherwise it has a grey coloured matt, slightly irregular surface. This weight could date from the Roman to the Georgian periods. Refs.
