A lead alloy weight or possible spindle whorl. It has one flat side, the other being slightly domed. There is no decoration, and the artefact has an even light brown patina. The central hole is 13mm in diameter, at which size may suggest that it is more likely a weight than a spindle whorl, supported because the thickness of the item varies considerably as can be seen from the side, this may have been difficult to spin. Without any decoration it is difficult to date closely. Dimensions: 26m diameter and 8mm thick, the central hole is 13mm diameter and it weighs 34g Finders …
