Lead weight, possibly for a line or net. Cast sheet, rolled or folded around an irregular aperture. Though the construction of the weight resembles that of Early Medieval net weights, this object is shorter, is made from thicker sheet than is usual for such objects, and might equally serve on a line. It has perhaps been distorted by damage. The dating offered is correspondingly broad. Suggested date: Early Medieval to Medieval, 700-1500.
Height: 15.9mm, Width: 25.9mm, Thickness (of sheet): 5.4mm, Weight: 27.29gms.
