Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Somerset
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy uniface weight for a noble. The weight is circular and flat with a raised design on one side only. The design is of a facing ship with fore and aft castles. It is 16.9mm in diameter, 4.1mm thick and weighs 6.28 grams, 96.9 grains. The metal is pitted in places, especially on the lower surface.

Weights were normally made to the legal minimum weight which was slightly less and can lose weight through corrosion processes. This…
