Description: | A circular lead weight of medieval or post medieval date (c. AD 1100-1600). The weight is circular in shape with a rectangular cross-section. The upper face exhibits a moulded design which consists of a raised reserve around the circumference of the weight within which is a central lozengiform moulding with an arm extending from each of the four points to form the arms of a cross pommee which overlap with the reserve border at the edge of the weight. The lozenge is bisected by the arms of a cross fleury to divide the lozenge into four smaller lozenges. The arms of the cross fleury terminate at the inner edge of the reserve border. The arms of the two crosses divide the field into eight segments three of which exhibit a stamped design of three pellets.The lead exhibits a thick off-white patina with three recent scratches indicated by dark grey metal where the patination has been removed.The weight is 66.46mm in diameter, 15.09mm thick and weighs 495g (1lb, 1oz).
