Sedimentary, sandstone, loom weight of unknown date, probably post Roman 800 – 1500 AD. The loom weight is broadly sub rectangular in both plan and profile.

A lead weight which weighs 3.99oz and so was probably intended to be a 4oz weight. Its length is 42.9mm and it has a width of 39.4mm. It has a weight of 113.15g. It is an oval domed shape with a rough circle on the base, possibly from the casting. It is not decorated and it has a thick white patina. Undecorated objects are very difficult to date but the exactness of the weigh may suggest that it is post medieval in date.

A lead alloy weight which is circular and discoidal with a rounded hole in the centre that goes all the way through the weight. It has a diameter of 35.4mm and a thickness of 21.3mm, it weighs 139.64g or 4.9oz. Lead weights are very imperfectly understood and are very difficult to date. It is not possible to suggest a specific date range for this example. It could be Roman to post medieval, but since the weight is almost 5 oz, a medieval or post medieval date is more likely.
