Lead possible weight. Cast irregularly conical weight with off-centre longitudinal aperture of diameter 5mm. At the broader end the aperture is surrounded by an oval hollow of length 10mm, revealed by removal of fine red sandy soil. The mass of the object may relate it to Scandinavian-derived units of circa 24.4gms (plus or minus 0.8gms). However, such weights are not usually perforated, so use as a later ?fishing weight is possible. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Medieval 850-1500 Diameter (base): 16.5mm, Height: 22mm, Weight: 25.16gms

A cast lead alloy Post Medieval shield shaped weight dating from about 1500-1800. It has been roughly cast and has a slightly concave base; it is undecorated. The material has a number of deep gouges and scratches due to wear and damage; there is also a roughly carved 'W' on the upper surface. The weight has a light-medium grey patina with small areas of ferrous corrosion probably indicating an iron handle. It is in fair condition and weighs 477g (just over 1 pound); it is possible that the original weight was 1.5lbs but this has been reduced due to damage and wear and the loss of the…

A complete Medieval to Post-Medieval cast lead unifaced weight, circa AD1200 - AD1800. Originally circular, the weight has been squashed from two sides leaving it almost oval to kidney-shaped. Traces of its original surface design are legible - a solid cross, the arms extending to the edge of the artefact, with a single pellet (diameter c.4.7mm) in each angle, and a small dome-shaped pellet in its centre (diameter c.8.8mm). These decorative features are formed in relief and are reminiscent of reverse designs on Medieval coins. The reverse of the weight is blank. It measures 43.9mm in …

An incomplete cast copper-alloy handle from a vessel of possible Roman date. The top of the handle where it joins the rim of the vessel survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks.

Pottery body sherd made of coarse admixture clay. The fabric has finer inclusions of pale felspars and mica, and additional larger inclusions such as quartz not natural to the clay to make it an admixture. The colour is orange to mid-brown on the exterior and on the interior of the sherd, and throughout the core. This type of admixture fabric is seen in Bronze Age vessels, dating from c.2100-1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

A copper alloy object, possibly a fragment of handle from a late Iron Age tankard. The object is formed of a crescent and a now-broken loops; the broken loop sits against the side of the crescent, and projects out at a right angle from it.

A cast copper alloy object in the form of an eagle with its wings outstretched, its right leg forward and its head facing left. The beak is worn and there is a little detailing to represent flight feathers . The bird is cast in two pieces; the lower component comprises the legs and talons and an area of ground with simple scrollwork on which the bird stands.
