Description: | Lead weight. Cast conical weight with a rounded top. A spot of rust on the base might indicate a small embedded object, though it might equally result from the proximity of iron in the burial environment. Round weights of c.51gms mass from London are thought to have observed some contemporary standard - though with greater latitude for error than is usually accepted by this reporter - and conical weights are there regarded as likely to have been used for precise weighing. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500.Diameter (long axis): 24.2mm, Height: 20.4mm, Weight: 50.55gms.
