Description: | A lead alloy artefact, possibly a weight, probably of Medieval or early Post-medieval date, AD 1100 - 1700. It is in the form of a flat disc without markings. It is 34.2mm in diameter and 8.6mm thick. At a weight of 69.16gm (2.44oz) it does not seem to fall within any of the usual weight systems.A number of similar objects may be found on the database: see for example references SWYOR-252684, SF-B088F0 and LIN-70F1B2.As this example was found on a battlefield, it may be related to lead alloy ammunition or be lead for casting.
