A cast lead weight of post medieval date. The unmarked weight is broadly flat and broadly circular in plan. It has a pronounced and battered, irregular rim, which is most prominent on the top side. The irregular nature of the rim is probably due to knocks in the plough soil, which have also slighlty bent the weight and left a couple of gouges. The weight has a yellow grey patina all over. The maximum diameter of the weight is51.0mm, and its maximum thickness, from the rim, is 11.2mm. It weighs 139.6g (4.92 oz).

There is no obvious decoration or symbols on the surfaces. It's maximum diameter is 25.9mm, and it is 14.9mm high. It weighs 40.8g. The central piercing's diameter is 4.8mm.

Incomplete cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable Medieval - Post Medieval date (1350 - 1700). The weight is broadly circular in plan and regular in cross section. Both faces seems to have some form of decoration although this is indistinct. There is also evidence for an outer raised ridge to the weight. On the upper face there is also a single irregular punch / stamp impressed in the surface. Due to the corrosion and patina of the weight this mark cannot be accurately read. The weight is a mid grey colour with an even, but slightly corroded and abraded, patina which covers all sur…

Cast copper alloy trade weight of probable post medieval date (1600-1750). The weight is circular in plan with a raised rim and sunken, slightly convex, interior. The rim and interior are the same on each face. The weight has been abraded in the plough soil and corrosion and wear has obscured the stamped marks. These marks are only present on the upper face and are positioned in a broadly symmetrical pattern. The stamps consist of well struck, but slightly distorted letters: F, W, L (possibly F), and V. The reverse is plain, apart from the slight distortion caused by the use of the pun…

Cast lead alloy possible irregular weight, probably from a net or line of unknown date, probably medieval - modern (1200-1900). The weight is formed from a relatively large sheet of lead alloy which in shape is broadly sub-triangular. On the upper edge an irregular hole has been punched; this has caused a conical depression on the sheet around the hole. The hole has a diameter of 4.4mm. The weight is a mid cream colour abraded white patches present in many places. Around the hole, on the front edge, are a series of sub-rectangular patinated scars, the purpose or cause of these is unkn…

A cast lead alloy circular weight of probable later medieval or more likely post medieval date (1350-1800). The weight is circular in plan and D shaped in cross section. The edges of the weight have thin circumferential incised lines around them. The upper face is domed and possibly originally had a cast design - now lost through corrosion and abrasion. The reverse face is undecorated and has a central depression. The weight is a mid grey colour and has an abraded and corroded patina. A direct parallel has not been found but a 17th / 18th century date is preferred. The weight meas…

A Post Medieval cast copper alloy weight dating to circa (AD 1625 - 1649). The weight is circular in plan. The upper surface has a lipped rim and two fine low-relief concentric rings in the centre. Within the concentric rings is a centrally placed circular incision. At the centre of the front face of the weight there is a circular indentation which is where the maker would have shaved the weight to make it the correct weight. At the 6 o'clock position there is the Founders Company mark of a ewer which was stamped on approved weights. At the 11 o'clock position there is the royal ciphe…
