Early Medieval lead alloy weight with copper alloy inset. The weight is square in plan, and rectangular in section and profile. There is some damage to the lead alloy and is possible that the inset may have had some form of surface embellishment like gilding or enamelling.

This decorative motif on the mount set into the weight can be closely paralleled in Wales with two examples from Anglesey, one of which was found on the Early Medieval enclosed settlement near Llanbedr…
