Description: | Lead steelyard weight fragment. Cast globular weight with a tapered central aperture of diameter 6.5-3.5mm. The surface is slashed and gouged and patinated overall; it appears likely that much of this surface damage was incurred in antiquity. Though there is provision for a suspension loop to be fitted, there is no trace of rust staining so if a loop was attached it was probably removed before the object was deposited, possibly incurring surface damage in the process. Some other gouges are of recent origin. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410.Diameter: 36mm, Height: 31.2mm, Weight: c.235gms.
