Description: | Lead weight. Cast cylindrical weight with an upper rim to one of its opposed flat faces and with seven lightly defined facets below this, and a deep possibly drilled pit on one flat face. Patinated and with deep gouges, the latter being post-depositional damage. The mass may suggest this to represent one [slightly underweight] half averdepois pound. The condition tends to suggest dating in the earlier part of the available range; a number of weights of round shapes and similar value are reported from medieval London (Egan 1998, table 15, fig. 229). Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1350-1650.Diameter: 37.4mm, Thickness: 22.1mm, Weight: c.205gms
