A long hollow, cylinder perforated lead weight, known as a standing weight. The hole which runs through the centre of the weight has a square section. These weighs are not yet completely understood.

The loop is oval, rather than circular and at either end of the loop there is a slight projection (with broken ends), which suggests that this artefact was once part of something much bigger. The metal is very corroded and most of the original surface has been lost. The metal is a mottled …
