Description: | A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight has a flat bottom which is circular in profile and has a hole which runs up through the weight drilled off-centre. No marks or decoration is present. The metal is a mid gray to white colour and is worn. The weight is 25.98 mm tall, 23.21 mm tapering to 11.45 mm in diameter and weighs 55.1g. Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses and are hard to date precisely. Therefore, due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely.
