Description: | A strip of lead, of irregular sub-rectangular shape with a flattened oval cross-section, that has been curved round into an oval loop with the ends butting together. This artefact weighs 17.97g (0.63oz). The strip has a width of 14.1mm, thickness of 4.2mm and length of 56.0mm forming an oval of 19.3mm length and 15.5mm width. This crude weight might have been used to weigh items or alternatively to weigh down something (with the possible use being a fishing weight) or to add tension to a cord. The date of this artefact is uncertain.
