An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1250 - 1700). The weight was originally circular but now semi-circular being broken (possibly cut) in half. It is rectangular in cross section. The upper face of the disc is decorated with incised concentric rings which have been cut over with deep knife scores. The reverse face was originally flat and plain however a number of deep grooves have been cut into the reverse with a knife. The weight is a light grey colour with a powdery uneven and corroded patina that covers all surfaces. A light…

A complete copper alloy probable apothecary or coin weight, of uncertain dating possibly from Early Post Medieval to Modern (AD 1600 toAD 1900). The probable weight is circular in shape, with a flat cross section. The object has a raised outer rim on both faces, this possibly enabled the object to be stacked. The objects surfaces are very worn and corroded therefore it is not possible to determine any design on either faces. The probable weight is a light to mid-green colour, with an uneven surface patina. The object is similar to apothecary weights as illustrated in Biggs (1992) p…
