Description: | A complete lead Heater Shield Shaped Weight of Medieval date (AD 1300-1550). The object is shield shaped and plano-convex in section. The upper face of the object has a design of two Fleur De Lis in relief and a boarder which respects the outline of the object. The mass (3.85 oz) suggests this weight may represent a four ounce weight in the Avoirdupois system. The object has a number of incised lines on both faces which were probably caused post-depositionally.The metal is a dark brownish cream in colour with a predominantly smooth and uncorroded patina.Height: 38.28mm, Width: 32.77mm, Thickness: 13.54mm, Weight: 109.20g.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Database: NLM-8C96D9, YORYM-900020 and YORYM-722502
