Description: | A cast lead weight, possibly a steelyard weight or pan weight, probably dating from the post-Medieval period, AD 1600 - 1800. It is conical, with a flat base and rounded convex sides. In the centre of the base is a central circular recess (now filled with dirt or corrosion, and a circumferential groove half way between the centre and the rounded corner. There is a smaller, circular perforation in the apex, perhaps to take a ferrous suspension loop. The weight is 50mm in diameter and 49.3mm high. It weighs 750 gm (1lb 10.5oz), but would have been more with the suspension loop. A similar example is SUR-5FE670.
