A complete copper-alloy trade weight of possible Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1760 - 1820. The weight is circular in plan with a raised rim and sides which taper from the top to the base giving a sub-trapezoidal profile. The centre is marked by a circle (13mm in diameter.) The 'front' face of the object is worn but some details are distinguishable.

These symbols indicated the weight is of the reign of King George III. Situated …

This is filled with four hollow, slightly raised circles. Three of the same circles fill the outside of the triangle on either side, and a further two go into the projecting edge. It is possible that the circular decorations continued, and …
