Description: | Lead weight. Object roughly cut from cast lead sheet of structural gauge, possibly to an irregular hexagonal form though this may be dictated by the cuts which formed it, and with a ragged keyhole-shaped aperture at one end. Lightly patinated overall. This is probably an improvised fishing line weight, and the proximity of the River Trent is probably relevant to its discovery here. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Length: 34.3mm, Width: 27.1mm, Thickness: 4.1mm, Weight: 20.15gms.
