A lead alloy probable perforated weight. It is tear drop shaped in plan, and D shaped in section. It may have been formed by pouring lead into the bowl of a spoon. A small suspension hole has been made where the stem would have been, but the hole is now damaged. It has a length of 63.40mm, width 41.68mm, thickness 12.75mm, weight 181.18g or 6.4oz. Another crude weight apparently cast in a spoon is KENT-0EF490. A medieval or post medieval date is most likely.
