Copper alloy possible weight, as kindly suggested by the finder. Cast discoid object, fiercely abraded and retaining no discernible detail on either side. This might be a coin weight of the later medieval or early post-medieval period, though – less likely given its chipped condition - the present mass could permit it to have served as a half ounce weight following the averdepois system. Suggested date: Late Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1400-1650 Diameter: 15.2mm, Thickness: 4.4mm, Weight: 3.84gms
