A complete lead-alloy probable net weight or loom weight of Medieval to Post Medieval date (AD 1200-1800). It is cylindrical in plan and circular in section. There is a central, sub-circular perforation through the object, 4.2mm in diameter. The upper and lower surfaces are flat. The object is undecorated. Lead weights are difficult to date securely or assign to specific tasks without archaeological context, as they change very little and thus a wide date range is suggested. The form of these weights has been suggested as reflecting those utilised for fishing or as net sinkers, t…

An copper alloy object – possibly a weight, or coin- of probable Roman date. The weight is sub-oval in plan, rectangular in cross section with a very worn design on one surface which includes two parallel lines. The opposite side is too worn to discern a design. The weight is a dark green colour and quite thick. The weight is 21.3mm long, 19.8mm wide, 3.8mm thick and weighs 8.82 grams. The weight was found near a number of Roman coins so may be dated to this period but is too thick relatvie to its diameter to be identified as a coin.

A complete lead weight of uncertain, but likely post medieval date. The object is cylindrical being circular in plan and rectangular in cross section shaped and crudely made. Both sides are undecorated, although there is a possible abstract stamp which may be post depositional damage, or may be intentional. The weight is an off white colour. As the form of these weights is in use for a long period of time, a specific date is difficult to establish, but they are more likely to be of post medieval date given their plainness. Measurements: 32.9mm diameter, 6.2mm thickness…
