A circular lead weight, probably of Medieval date, about AD 1200 - 1500. It is circular with a flat base, rounded sides and a deeply concave upper face, the hollow within a plain border.

The weight is 35.7mm in diameter and 9.7mm thick. It weighs 80.11gm, perhaps approaching the suggested mass of quarter of a Tower or Troy pound (Egan, 1998, page 302). Th…
