Description: | A complete lead alloy weight dating to the Medieval Period (AD 1100 - AD 1500). The weight is sub conical in shape, and sub triangular in cross section. The weight has no decoration or distinguishing marks on either the obverse or the reverse. The weight measures 28.1 mm in diameter, it is 11.1 mm high, it has a thickness of 6.2 mm and weighs 44.3 grams. The weight is a mid to light grey in colour and has an uneven patina. Abrasion whilst within the plough soil has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. An close example of this type of weight can be seen in 'Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection' page 23 fig 32. Ref: Biggs. N, Withers, P. 'Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection' White House Publications & Galata Print Ltd, 2000, page 23.
