Description: | A complete lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical with a sub-circular base, with six facets which taper to flattened apex. A central perforation is present on the apex and continues through the length of the object to the base.The object is a brown-grey colour and is very corroded. The weight is 15.8 mm tall, 18.5 mm wide at the base and weighs 15.2 g.Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards for a wide variety of uses and are hard to date precisely. Therefore, due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely.
