A complete cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is broadly oval (sub-rectangular with tapering sides terminating in blunt points) in plan and cross section. On the upper point is an integral cast suspension loop which would have been circular in plan and oval in cross section but is distorted, probably from plough damage. The perforation / hole through the centre is also oval and again distorted. The body of the weight has a large central rib which extends from the upper edge to the base. The weight seems to be relatively undecorated. The …

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is square in plan and pyramidal in profile with four triangular faces rising to a blunt top. The base is relatively flat and even. The weight is undecorated. A drilled transverse hole (diameter: 1.19mm) is present on the upper edge of the weight. The weight is a mid grey white colour with an even patina that covers all surfaces. It has been marked and abraded in the soil this has caused it to become asymmetrical. Similar standing weights have been dated to the medieval period. (Norman Biggs, 1992: 'Engl…

A cast lead alloy weight, probably from a net or line of unknown date, probably Medieval- modern (1200-1800). The weight is irregular being formed from an irregular sheet of lead alloy which has been rolled to form a conical cone shape. There is no decoration present and the external edges are uneven and irregular. There is indication of sheeting at the base but not enough to record by measuring. The weight is a mid grey colour with an abraded slight dusty surface patina. The weight measures 21.62mm high, is 14.13mm wide and 10.02mm thick at the base and 4.86mm wide and 3.50mm thic…

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is sub-circular (formed from eight uneven and irregular facets / faces) in plan and sub-triangular (conical) in profile. Through the centre of the weight is a cast conical hole. The purpose of this hole is uncertain but it might have had a length of wire or string to allow it to be suspended, this would aid safe-keeping and storage. The weight measures 22.41mm in length, 20.74mm width and is 21.77mm high. It weighs 60.1 grams. The weight undecorated. It is a mid grey colour with an even patina that co…

The hole is stained with an orange iron corrosion suggesting that an iron wire may have been used to suspend. The flat face has a…
