Description: | Lead probable weight. Cast cylindrical weight with a central moulded aperture of diameter 10mm and with traces of incised lines and dots on one flat surface; possibly partly melted and distorted. Patinated. The size and possible decoration traces may ally this to early post-medieval spindle whorls, though the putative decorative features were casually added rather than moulded and this object never had a biconvex form. A pair of short deep nicks on one side may be tying grooves for use as a fishing line weight. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1650.Diameter: 29.0mm, Thickness: 8.9mm, Weight: 22.30gms
