At the centre of the fourth side two small parallel lugs issue by which the upper valve of the box was attached to the lower and on which hinge the two pivoted. The perforations of the lugs have worn through so as to render them inoperative, probably in antiquity.

Copper alloy weight, possibly for an apothecary. It is circular, 18mm diameter and 3.5mm thick, but with a rising central knob the head of which is 9mm diameter and giving the whole object an overall height of 10mm. The present weight is 0.2460 troy ounces: this is therefore probably meant for an assay weight of a quarter ounce, and is likely to be 17th century or later. The shape of the weight resembles that of the miniature weights used with scientific balance scales.

A probable Roman pin-head of copper alloy. The object is 10mm long and 8mm in diameter, and has the form of a spherical-headed pinhead that has been flattened vertically so as to create a sharp carination around the circumference. Below the carina the metal wastes to 3mm diameter or gauge, before expanding again to 4mm diameter, probably to form a collar or ridge, at the point where the pinhead is broken off from the stem. The likely context for a pin of this form is Roman.
