Crudely made donut-shaped lead weight. One side has 4 distinct raised bulbs but there may have been others that have since been corroded, the other side is flat and undecorated.
It is not clear what this weight has been used for, but a common use as spindle whorl or perhaps weight for fishing nets is suggested.
