An egg shaped lead weight with the remains of an iron loop just visible within the depression at the top of the weight. Weight is approximately 175g (6oz), height 39.44mm, maximum diameter 33.45mm. The date of this weight is uncertain and could range from Roman to Post-Medieval (AD43-1700) however it is likely to be Roman due to associated finds.
Notes:
Handed in as part of potential treasure case 2010T717 as potential associated artefacts due to the find spot. It was deemed unlikely that the coins, reported as a possible hoard, form a single group. It is more likely that they represent single losses and therefore, that the balance of the evidence does not suggest that this group would constitute Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.
Subsequent action after recording: Returned to finder after being declared not Treasure
