Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy conical hanging weight, probably of Roman date, c. AD 43-410. The weight is missing its upper end with suspension element, exposing a hollow conical weight body and the base of an iron shaft, which would have run through the vertical centre of the weight. The base of the weight is rounded and would not have been used for resting the weight as in standing weights. The remains of the weight measure 61.93 mm high, 32.62 mm wide (at base), 29.08 mm thick (at base); it weighs 193 grams.
