A complete sub-spherical lead alloy weight of Roman to medieval date, c. AD 43-1300. A cylindrical aperture which measures 5 mm in diameter passes through the centre of the object; this is now filled with compacted soil. There is no visible casting seam on the weight's surface. The metal has a pale cream coloured patina. Its weight (27.07 g) corresponds roughly to an unica or Roman ounce (27.4 g), and so indicates its possible use as a trade weight. Diameter: 18.08 mm and weight 27.07 g.
