Description: | A lead alloy object, possibly a loom weight, most likely dating from the medieval to post-medieval period. It is circular in shape with a central perforation measuring 13mm in diameter. The perforation is sub-rectangular at one end and sub-oval at the other end. It is undecorated. The metal is a light brown colour. The edge is slightly worn in places.The dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were probably mostly used as net weights, loom weights.Dimensions: 18.5mm in height, 19mm in diameter, 32.5g
