Description: | Lead weight. Cast cylindrical weight with a central moulded aperture of diameter 9.7mm. A narrow medial circumferential groove runs around the object. Lightly patinated. The relatively fresh condition may suggest a recent date; the form is usually associated with weights used for a fishing line. The groove in this case might indicate that a line was tied around the weight as well or instead of passing through its aperture, though nicks on the upper and lower edges might equally be tying notches. This might suggest an object such as the shaft of a float passed through the aperture on occasion. The proximity of the River Trent would make such uses apt. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800.Diameter: 16.5mm, Height: 13.4mm, Weight: 15.51gms
