A biconical lead with an iron pin through the centre. At the the top the pin divides into two arms to form a loop; the arms are broken shortly above the apex of the lead. The surface of the weight is undecorated. The weight is possibly from a Roman steelyard, though similar biconical weights are known from later periods.
