Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Lead alloy weight, probably from the Medieval or Post-Medieval period. It is circular in plan with an uneven rim around the edges on both faces. There is some corrosion and the surfaces are not completely even. There has been no typology done for these weights so it is hard to assign them to a precise date.
