WEIGHT

Unique ID: LVPL-A84E57

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Lead Weight probably Medieval or Post medieval in date. Weights are very difficult to date as the same form/design was used for a long period of time. This weight is circular and has no decoration. There are some scratch marks but these are from damage through use or its time in the ground. On both sides there is a central circular hollow- it could have been a hole all the way through but this is unclear due to corrosion and mud.
