A possible small lead weight of probable Post Medieval to Modern date. The object is a short cylinder of lead with slightly angled sides. The top is uneven and the base has two deep circular holes in, perhaps where a wire loop or two pieces of wire were anchored. The object has a grey colour and little patina. It is 14.7mm in diameter, 8.3mm thick and weighs 11.05g. This is likely to have been a weight with a function other than as a standard unit of mass. It could also be a more modern seal or electrical terminal anchor point etc.
