A complete lead standing weight of unknown date, Roman to Post Medieval, c. AD 43-1800. It is very crudely cast, being approximately conical with a large hole running from top to an increasing diameter at its base. Measurements: weight 75.6 grams, height 24.9mm, diameter of base (max) 27.9mm Weights of this type are ubiquitous and very difficult to date from undated contexts and were used from the Roman period through to the Post Medieval period where they had various functions such as fishing or trade weights.

A complete cast lead alloy large standing weight of probably Medieval or Post Medieval date (c. 1200-1700 AD). The weight is conical in shape and circular in cross-section with a large integral handle at the top through which there is a small central hole. The weight measures 42.8mm high, 27.7mm diameter and weighs 165 grams. Lead weights were used throughout a large span of time and were generally easy to manufacture; therefore, they are difficult to date outside of secure archaeological contexts. This style of standing weight seems to have been used most frequently within the Med…
