Description: | Lead weight. Cast discoid plano-convex weight, probably cast in an open mould, patimated overall. The mass may suggest this weight observes the Viking Dublin module of 4.43gms for transactions involving silver bullion, and that it represents four (slightly overweight) such units. The duration of the use of this postulated system of measurement must be uncertain given the contested status of Lindsey through the 10th century, though the region was in the ambit of the Viking 'kingdom' of York and Dublin. A larger weight of similar form and suspected date was reported from the same location (NLM-17F496).Suggested date: Early Medieval, 875-925. Diameter: 26.6mm, Thickness: 5.5mm, Weight: 18.46 gms
