Description: | A lead alloy probable weight likely to be of Medieval date. The object is a circular disc with a small (1.6mm diameter) hole through the centre. One face is marked with a scratched cross covering the face. There is no other decoration or marks. The weight has a well developed white patina, and a little modern damage. It is 32.2mm diameter and 5.1mm thick. At 36.6g (1.2oz) it does not appear to be a standard mass, except possibly for 24 pennyweights (Egan, 1998, The Medieval Househol, page 302).
