Description: | A complete lead weight of uncertain date. It is roughly circular in shape, but bent slightly out of shape to one side. One face is convex and the other is flattened. The convex face is decorated with a recessed cross containing a thinner raised cross in the centre, which looks like the imprint of another (unidentified) object. It is highly worn and scratched with a few small holes in the flattened face. It weighs approximately 3/4 of a pound. It is very crude in nature, suggesting that it may be a home made object. It is therefore difficult to date precisely, but may be medieval.Length: 72.80mm, width: 67.88mm, thickness: 11.36mm, weight: 326g
