Iron Age ceramic loomweight
Half of a clay loomweight, found with fragments of at least two others; it appears to be roughly rectangular in plan with a section that narrows slightly in both aspects towards the top, which is fairly well rounded. There is a single horizontal perforation along what was probably the longer axis.
