Description: | A possible cast lead weight dating from Medieval to Post Medieval ( AD 1250-1800). The weightis sub-circular in plan and an uneven D-shape in prpfile, with five raised pellets on the front face. The reverse face is un-decorated. A parallel can be found in Biggs and Withers (2000) ref: 39. Biggs and Withers suggest that it was possible that round weights were used for weighing precious objects like coin and bullion.
