A cast lead-alloy conical standing weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical in form, with a slightly concave base; it is hollow and narrows towards the top where it is damaged possibly where there may have been a vertical suspension element. Standing weights of this type were easy to make and used throughout a large period of time. Biconical steelyard weights are common in the Roman period and although this is conical rather than biconical it has been found in direct association with a large quantity of finds from the Roman period. Therefore, it is possible that this weig…
