Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lincolnshire

A lead alloy object which is unidentified. The artifact is roughly cone shaped but with a rounded and faceted lower half and concave sides. The top is also rounded making the shape rather like a pear. The object has a diameter of 22.8mm and is 19.3mm thick. In the centre of the flat base is an irregular sub-triangular hole that extends about halfway into the centre of the object. The function of this object is unknown. It may be a weight and the hole could be to adjust the mass exactly. It could also have contained a copper alloy plug also for fine adjustment. Lead weights are very imp…

A flat, circular cast lead weight with the remains of an iron spike extending up from the top. The iron spike could once have formed part of a handle or loop. The weight is undecorated, but appears to be well worn. The weight is complete, apart form the iron spike that appears to have been broken. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour. Due to a lack of excavated examples these weights must remain undated within the post-medieval period.

The weight is of double-conical shape with a rounded outer rim and central perforation (ca 10mm in diameter). While one side is decorated with a parallel lines radiating out from the centre, the other displays three rings of dots in profile.
These lead weights are found frequently by metal detectorists, but we are still not quite certain of their use or exact dating. It has been noted that they have been found in archaeological contexts of the 15th and 16th century and that the most likely use for them was as spindle whorls (Kevin Leahy, pers. comm). However, these weights strongly r…
