Description: | An undatable (but likely to be Medieval - Post-Medieval, about AD 1100 - 1800) conical lead standing weight with integral pierced loop. It stands 29.96mm in height with a base diameter of (max) 27.46mm and weighs 85.37g (almost exactly 3oz). The apex is flattened (about 10mm wide) and has a hole through it, positioned to one side. It has a 2.3mm diameter circular piercing. The base is concave and the corner of the base is rounded. The weight has a patchy light grey patina.This weight is similar to HAMP-FBA9E0 which notes that: "Lead weights are difficult to date when found as stray finds, as they are used for long periods of time." Compare also NARC-97C874 and WMID-DEBBED, though the last is not pierced.
