Hi all,
I have here what I think is a lead trade weight with four vertical lines cut into one side. It measures 1.5" in diameter, 7/16" thick and weighs 3.8oz (now). If I'm correct in assuming it's a 4oz trade weight then what period would this be from? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Kind regards,
Simon.

Interesting, many thanks and it was found quite close by in Rossett. I wasn't sure about the marks being Roman as it's got four (IIII) and not Roman numerals but it tallies with the weight. It would be nice if it was  Smiley

Nice find. Very difficult to date. Could be Roman but could also be up to 16th century.

See the short write-up here:

Interesting article and many thanks for the response. If it is Roman then it's my first. I only realised what it was a few days later when I removed all the dried clay and, there was me thinking the day was a bust. Just goes to show that you should clean and check everything!  Smiley

If I was you I would not name any permissions or nearby places,probably other people near you my get it before or even worse,night hawks.So be weary of naming lands.😉
