A cast lead lead alloy object, possibly a token but also possibly a weight of late medieval date, c. AD 1500 - 1600. The object is discoid, with both surfaces decorated. One face has an outer border of pellets, then within a solid circle, two initials possibly W A. The other surface has a similar border of pellets, then a circle enclosing design obscured by abrasion, possibly florate with interlaced letters. Diameter 24 mm, thickness 3 mm and weight 11.3 g. Biggs and Withers (2000) illustrate a number of round, decorated weights. It is possible this object is a Tudor h…

A cast lead alloy weight, probable spindle whorl of late medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1300 - 1700). The weight is an irregular hexagonal shape, with traces of an outer rim, which suggests the hexagonal shape is intentional rather than a casting error or denting. The weight has one flat and one convex face. The convex face may have had moulded decoration but is very abraded and damaged with dents and gouges, probably post-depositional, so this is difficult to confirm. There is a sub-circular, off centre perforation, 7 mm diameter.  Diameter 23 mm, height 5.8 mm and w…

A lead alloy steelyard weight, probably of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The object is roughly spherical but has several dents and deep gouges, and flattened facets probably due to post depositional damage. The iron wire suspension loop survives. The object weighs 216.4 g, comparable to the 219 g of the Bessis, 2/3 of a Roman pound. Diameter 31mm and height 39 mm.

A complete lead weight, likely a net or loom weight, dating from the Roman to the post medieval periods (c AD 43 - 1700). The weight is cylindrical in shape with a central channel which is also circular, this is set slightly off centre. External surface smooth and unblemished.  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, though thi…

A cast lead object, probably a pan weight of medieval to post medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1600). The object has the form of a flat-bottomed domed disc; the upper surface appears to have moulded decoration, possibly a sexfoil surrounded by pellets, however the surface is abraded and dented and the decoration is not clear. The bottom surface is flat and undecorated, there is a central perforation, now blocked, 2 mm in diameter. The object currently weighs 144.5 g, possibly this was originally 1/3 Avoirdupois pound. Diameter 45 mm and height 12 mm.

A Roman to medieval cast lead and iron steelyard weight, dating to c. AD 43 -1500. The weight is broadly cylindrical, flaring out at the base to give a bell-like appearance. The base is flat with a concave discoloured area in the centre, probably indicating the iron inset. There is an off-centre lump of iron corrosion on the top displaying the remains of the suspension loop. The object weights 237.3 g - compare with  246.7 g, the Roman Dodrans, the 3/4 libre weight.  Diameter 37 mm, thickness 34 mm

A cast lead weight, probably post-medieval to modern in date. The weight is broadly cylindrical, having a rectangular base but becoming sub-circular at the top. There is a lateral piercing 4mm in diameter, through which is threaded a loop of twisted iron wire. The wire is much thinner than the piercing (0.1 mm) which may suggest it is a replacement. The object has a white-grey patina. Width 21mm, height 34.3mm, weight 100.2g.
