Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Medieval to post-medieval spherical lead weight with slightly flattened poles and central hole, diameter 19mm, height 15.5mm, hole diameter 4.5mm, weight 30.09g / 1.061 ounce Avoirdupois. Probably for use with a line or net and not for measuring weight, despite the closeness to 1oz. 13th - 18th. A date in the more recent half of this range seems more likely in view of the fresh condition.
