Cast lead Post Medieval weight. In plan it is sub-triangular with the narrowed end being the top which has a circular perforation used for attachment. It has a rectangular cross-section throughout. The surface is uneven. This sort of weight could have been used for many purposes for many periods and so is difficult to date precisely when found out of context.
