The base of the weight is hollowed out and there is a small circular hole to either side filled with iron corrosion. The surface is heavily worn and corroded.These weights were used for a long period and lack many diagnostic features, so are difficult to dateLength: 29.38mm, base: 28.73 x 24.18mm, apex: 16.06 x 4.71mm, weight: 49.95g | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
