Description: | Lead weight. Small fragment of cast sheet of thickness c.2mm, slotted at one end and rolled. Patinated overall. This resembles massier tubular objects suggested to be medieval weights for use with fishing lines, and has been improvised from scrap to serve some similar purpose. As metal shows where the patina is abraded this object may be of slightly more recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Length: 14.8mm, Width: 12.7mm, Thickness (overall as found): 7.1mm, Weight: 5.72gms.
