Title
Incomplete cast lead weight of possible Medieval or Post-Medieval date (AD 1066 - AD 1800).
Description
English: Incomplete cast circular lead weight of possible Medieval or Post-Medieval date (AD 1066 - AD 1800). Suspension loops broken and missing. Maximum diameter 35mm and maximum thickness 24mm. Weight 160.04g.

The weight is sub-spherical with a flattened base and is perhaps a type that Biggs and Withers classify as “bun-shaped” (Biggs, N and Withers, P. 2002. Lead Weights. 22.). It has a central longitudinal perforation which is 7mm in diameter at either end and narrows towards the centre of the weight. Near the edge of the perforation at the top, is the remains of an iron suspension loop. There is also the remains of an iron suspension loop close to the perforation on the underside. The surface is abraded. However, patches of pale buff patina have survived. Possibly a type of steelyard weight.
