A cast lead alloy weight probably dating from the Roman to the Post-Medieval period, (43-1700). The object is circular in plan and trapezoidal in cross-section. The upper face is stamped with the numeral I. The lower surface of the object is undecorated. Lead weights are common throughout the Medieval and Post-Medieval period. Biggs, N. & Withers, P. (2000) note that weights of this type with numerals are consistent with the Roman weight-system as well as the averdepois system, thus they could equally be 16th century. Given the growing number of these lead weights being found in th…

Sub-spherical weight with flattened ends where the large central perforation truncates the ball. There is a ridge expanding mid way down on each side of the internal walls of the perforation. The internal diameter of the perforation is 11mm. The outer surface of the object is uneven and has been damaged. Other weights of this shape have been suggested to be net or line weights from fishing. Modern line weights are similar but tend to have a smaller perforation. The well developed patina suggests that the weight has some age, but it is not possible to suggest the period.
