A complete lead alloy weight possibly dating to the post medieval period. The object is circular in plan with a flat base and curved sides which creates a domed profile. There is a central perforation which is sub-circular in shape and pierces from the top of the dome through to the flat base. There does not appear to be any decoration on the object although there are a series of incised lines on the surface of the object. This object could have been used in the manufacture of textiles as a loomweight or spindle whorl although the flat base could suggest a different function. …
