A cast lead alloy weight, probably a trade weight, dating from the Medieval period, c. AD 1300 - 1500. It is sub-triangular with rounded corners, possibly intended to be shield shaped but there is wear and damage to the lower edge. A large chip at the lower right corner appears to be recent. Some areas on both sides are thicker than the edge and there is the possibility that both faces may once have been decorated but the design is no longer legible.
