WEIGHT

Unique ID: SF5083

Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow status: Published Find published

Thick lead disc with raised border on either face. On one face the border has at least three and perhaps four transverse grooves, deep ones at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock and a shallow one at 3 o'clock; there may be a very shallow and broad one at 9 o'clock. Possibly a trade weight, although at 59.48g (2.05 oz) it seems unlikely as it is overweight for 2 oz. Undatable.

Notes:

This record was created before the Portable Antiquities Scheme began using the Central Database. We are aware that this record may fall below our usual standards of recording, and we are working to rectify this.
