Description: | One quarter of a circular medieval lead trade weight which has straight cuts on two lengths forming the 90 degree edges and a curved quarter circle edge on the other. This section has sloping outer edge to the curved side, two incised straight lines 4mm from one straight edge with another straight line 4mm inside the first line. There is a central incised circle measuring 11mm diameter, which is partly pierced right through to the other side. The whole would have shown a cross with a pellet in each quarter, in the manner of a long cross penny with a pellet in each quarter.
