A complete lead or lead alloy weight of the Medieval to Post-Medieval period, dating from c. AD 1200 to AD 1800. The weight consists of a globular oval shape, with an integral sub triangular suspension loop at the top of the weight. The loop has a lozenge (diamond shaped) in section. A vertical ridge is present around the midline, probably a remnant from a two piece mould used in the casting process. One side of the weight has a recessed centre with a raised long cross on it, positioned centrally. The other side has a deep groove running vertically. It measures 58.6 mm in l…
