Loom weight made out of smooth worn Roman brick. One face is squared and the others roughly trimmed. The hourglass shaped perforation is drilled. Aileen Fox states that triangular weights of baked clay are found in Early Iron Age settlements such as Glastonbury. This example suggests their continued use into the Roman or post Roman period in the west.
Site Name: Barry Island, Vale of Glamorgan
Notes: from excavations carried out by the late John Storrie on various sites. Found built into the walls of the Oratory, together with fragments of tile of undoubted Roman character.
