A complete, cast, lead alloy weight, probably Post Medieval in date but due to the lack of other dating may date from the Roman - Post Medieval periods. This crudely shaped weight has a flat base, cylidrical body and domed top. It is sub-circular in plan. There is a central piercing. The surface is very abraded, with a yellow white patina in the unworn areas, and grey yellow colour where abrasion has occurred. There is no obvious decoration or symbols on the well worn surface.
It's maximum diameter is 30.4mm, and it is 16.1mm high. It weighs 65.7g.
The central piercing's diameter tapers from 8.1mm at the base to 7.3mm at the top.
