Description: | A lead alloy probable perforated weight likely to be of Medieval date. The object is a circular disc with a small (3.6mm diameter) oval hole through the centre. One face is marked with a scratched cross covering the face. There are traces of a very faint cross on the other face. The weight has a well developed white patina. It is 27.2mm long, 23.9mm wide, 3.8mm thick and 16.54g. The mass it does not appear to be a standard one, except possibly for 12 pennyweights at 18.7g (Egan, 1998, The Medieval Household, page 302).
