Description: | A lead alloy weight, or gaming piece, dating from the Roman to the Post-Medieval period, (43-1700). The object is circular in plan and conical. The object appears to have a piece of sheet lead wrapped round the outside creating a hollow centre in to which molten lean appears to have been deposited. The surfaces are rough and pitted with some white patination. The object is 29.1mm in diameter at the base (16mm at the top); 18mm high; weighing 64.3g.Objects of this form have been identified as either weights or playing pieces. Weights are common throughout the Medieval and Post-Medieval period and are therefore difficult to date.
