An incomplete Roman or medieval lead weight dating to c AD 43-1500. Its cross section is D shape, but it appears to be rather flat, compared to other weight specimens. It could be suggested that the weight was unintentionally squashed or cut at some point. Despite these physical changes, the weight still has a central perforation, and on the anterior surface, a raised area of lead giving the weight a bee hive like effect. The central perforation is c9.74mm in diameter. It weighs 33.04g and measures 28.29mm in diameter and is 8mm thick/in height.
