A complete lead alloy trade or bullion weight. The weight is circular in plan and subrectangular in cross section. Each face is undecorated and has a rim which gives each face an uneven circular recess. The object is light grey in colour, has an uneven surface and there are areas that are worn and indented. There are small visible scratch marks on each face.  Such simple weights were in use from the Roman period onwards, with most post medieval trade weights in use outside of London being of this material and form into the early 18th century (Biggs, 1992:46). …
