The ring is slightly flattened rather than completely round, and wider from side t…

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large lead alloy weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and has a central circular perforation and raised rim. The perforation has an internal diameter of 12mm. Each face is undecorated. Dimensions: 61mm in diameter, 15mm thick, 420g. The dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were probably mostly used as net weights, loom weights.
