Lead alloy circular weight, probably from the Roman period. The weight has a rounded top and slightly concave back surface. On the front, in the lower half are the numbers 'IIII' which has most likely been cast or moulded in at the time of manufacture.

An annular lead weight, with a diameter of 29.7mm, a maximum thickness of 9.0mm, and a mass of 30g. The central perforation has a diameter of 10.8mm. It is unornamented, with a pale grey-white surface colour, and one face is poorly preserved. Such weights are difficult to date, and their precise function is uncertain, though they may have been used in fishing or weaving. This undecorated example may date to any time between the Roman and early postmedieval periods.
