At the base of the object is a circular depression with an internal diameter of 8.73mm and a depth of 1.51mm. The outer surface of the object is rough with several notches and grooves due to wear or damage. It has a mid-grey patina and is crudely made. The object weighs 92.7g.Lead weights of this form were commonly used throughout the Medieval and Post-Medieval period and are therefore difficult to date accurately. However the patina on this example suggests a more recent date.Measurements: 30.15mm in diameter, 26.65mm in length, 92.7g.
