Description: | Lead weight. Cast standing weight of four-sided pyramidal form with facets at the meeting of each two sides. There is a dimple in the flat sub-rectangular base. Traces of red colorant appear along with patina. Though a rectangular weight of similar mass was deemed in London to perhaps respect an unspecified medieval standard, to within +/- 5% (Egan 1998, Table 15), this reporter cannot assign this object within the tolerances usually applied to field finds. The survival of a coating, if the red tint is not itself a corrosion product, may also argue a more recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Height: 25.6mm, Length (base): 28.2mm, Width: 23.4mm, Weight: 72.10gms.
