Description: | Lead Weight. Cast oval flat-sided weight. One side has a low rim confining a possible border motif with the centre gouged and with a further depression close to the edge on the same side; as these marks do not pass across the edge of the object they are unlikely to be post-depositional damage. The mass may suggest this to represent one averdepois ounce. As the use of lead weights was discouraged from the mid 18th century an earlier post-medieval date may obtain. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1750.Length: 32.3mm, Width: 26.8mm, Thickness: 5.6mm, Weight: 28.29gms.
