A cast lead shield shape trade weight of medieval date. The weight has a flat top with tapering triangular sides.

Cast lead disk shaped weight. On one side are the worn remains of a design possibly a buckle in a ring with three solid lobes around the ring. The buckle is the badge of the local Pelham family and was in use from 1350. It measures 48.24mm in diameter and is 13.58mm thick. It weighs 208.4grams. Simple lead weights were easily made and are hard to date precisely so a general later medieval to post medieval date is suggested.
