A lead alloy possible toy fragment of probable Modern date, AD 1900 - 1960.

A barrel-shaped lead weight with a hole along the centre of the long axis, of unknown date, Roman to Post Medieval, AD 43 - 1900. It is circular in cross-section and tapers at each end, terminating in flat faces (now damaged). Dimensions: length 30.4mm, diameter 24.5mm, weight 87.35g. There is no evidence of an iron hook. If the weight had a copper alloy loop in the hole, it could have been a hanging weight of steelyard weight, perhaps of four ounces. Alternatively, it could be a net sinker - a weight threaded into a line, string or net for use in fishing or netting. Compare SWYOR-01DD1A.
