A complete Medieval to Post Medieval lead-alloy probable loom weight dating to circa AD 1200-1800. The object is cylindrical with flat faces. There is a central, circular perforation through the object.  The object is undecorated. The metal has a dark grey patina.  Lead weights are difficult to date securely or assign to specific tasks without archaeological context, as they change very little and thus a wide date range is suggested.
