Cast discoidal weight, flat face with nineteen ring-and-dots arranged in the form of a cross potent, rounded chamfer around edge on base. A small almost central perforation in the face splays on the reverse and contains the remains of a plug comprising decayed pale grey/whitish material, probably lead. Diameter 14mm, thickness 4mm. Weighing 53.6 grains, 3.48 g. This weight bears resemblance to some Early Anglo-Saxon weights and may relate to a weight system based on a unit of c. 3.1 g (Scull 1990, 187). However if the plug were intact the difference in weight would be even greater.
