Description: | A tall, triangular prism lead weight, known as a standing weight, probably dating from the Roman to Post Medieval periods. A hole has been punch through the apex. These weighs are not yet completely understood. It is possible they could have been fishing weights dating from the medieval period or later, but due to a lack of context this weight must remain undated. The weight is undecorated, but both ends are flat with rounded edges. The weight is complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.The weight measures 30.8mm high, 13.4mm long by 10.9mm wide at the base: 8.6mm long by 6.4mm wide at the top. The hole is 4mm in diameter.
