Description: | A complete cast lead weight, possibly a loom weight. The weight is circular in plan and oval in profile with a 3mm perforation in the centre and flattened upper & lower faces. There is no decoration. Undecorated lead weights of this type are difficult to date but the lack of a well-developed patination and the fact that it weighs almost exactly 1 avoirdupois ounce suggests a probable late-medieval to post-medieval date.
