A cast copper-alloy sub-discoidal weight. The weight has tapering sides with a narrower base than top. The sides and base are plain but the top has a central circular indent surrounded by an irregular circle of 7 ring-and-dot punch marks. It is 10.9 mm in diameter, 4.9 mm thick and weighs 2.91 grams. A simple weight like this is hard to date with complete certainly but the style with the circular indent and ring-and-dot motif appears similar to many Medieval to post-Medieval cup weights. It has been suggested that cup weights date from 12th-14th century and continue in use into the…

Drop shaped circular sectioned cast lead weight with a circular sectioned hole running from the top to the bottom, removing the point of the drop. Lead weights were easily cast at home for a variety of uses and plain examples are therefore hard to date more precisely than Roman - Post Medieval.

Thick circular lead weight, a maximum of 24.94mm in diameter and 14.06mm thick. One face is slightly flatter than the other; the other face is slightly rounded. In the centre is a circular perforation c.11.07mm in diameter. It weighs 42.66g (1.50oz). Assigning a date and function to simple weights such as this one is not easy, but lead weights do seem to have been most common in the medieval and post-medieval periods. For similar examples see CAM-5CCA61 and CAM-5D0962.
