Cast lead pan weight, circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile, incised with the Roman numeral II representing two pounds as it weighs 909 g which equates to 32 ounces or 2 pounds. The two 'II' also have a short transverse line across the middle of the numerals which suggests that they are not Roman in date. The Roman libra (which is where the lb comes from) equates to 329 g or 11.6 ounces so it cannot refer to two libra and must refer instead to the avoirdupois system which was set up in the 13th century. Bailey (2011) illustrates a similar lead weight incised with a 'II…
