Possibly Roman weight, ceramic with a lead plug. The uneven shape is the result of loss of some of the outer parts through damage. It appears to have been cylindrical. The ceramic is off-white or very pale grey, quite fine, quite hard, with one tiny sliver of red ceramic (brick or tile) visible. At one end the plug exhibits the scars of two missing projections, probably a supension loop. No parallel noted. Diameter 28mm. Thickness or height 15.5mm. Plug diameter 11 - 12mm. Weight 24.27g. Perhaps mid 1st - 4th century.
