Description: | Lead weight with a hole at the centre possibly a fishing net weight or spindle whorl, probably Medieval. The weight is concave and sub-circular, thicker in the centre and with a perforation running through the middle. The object is fairly concave on both sides, there does not appear to be any decoration. Similar weights have been found in medieval contexts including at Codnor Castle, Derbyshire; at the Austin Friary in Leicester (Mellor and Pearce, 1981) and the deserted medieval village of Thrislington (topsoil find; Austin 1989, 137, fig. 58.2). Also see several others on the PAS database, for example LIN-8BBFF2 and NCL-E477FA.The diameter is 32mm and the weight 44.24g.
