Description: | Lead Weight. Cast cylindrical object with a central moulded aperture of diameter 4.5mm, and with five integrally cast round-ended lugs, c.8mm wide and 8-11mm long, which were probably formed as projections from one end of the cylinder, and are now pressed flat against its sides. That end without lugs appears lightly bevelled. The mass may suggest this to represent sixteen sub-units (of 4.07gms) of the Scandinavian system for the measurement of silver bullion. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1000.Diameter (clear of lugs): 21.2mm, Thickness: 15.5mm, Weight: 65.24gms.
