Object type: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: West Berkshire
Workflow stage: Published
A lead and iron steelyard weight of probable Roman date. The weight is very worn and it is difficult to tell the original form. At the top is the remains of an iron shank and while this is visible at the bottom it does no penetrate the bottom apex of the weight. The top of the weight is bulbous and tapers inwards to a smaller, worn bulbous shape. If Roman it is possible it is an acorn shaped weight which much of the nut of the weight and metal casing lost. However, it is possible that the wear pattern indicates an inverted conical shape, with a Medieval or Post-Medieval date.
