DOR-1622B7: AMPULLA
An incomplete lead ampulla. The lower half only survives and there is an old cut or break across the top. The rounded chamber is decorated with a moulded crowned letter W or double letter V in a border of diagonal ridges on the front and a moulded scallop shell design or common cockle shell decoration on the rear face with multiple raised lines and a smooth outer edge. Date: Medieval - c. 1300 - 1500 Dimensions: 31.38 mm x 29.99 mm x 5.89 mm Weight : 22.03g Ampullae were pilgrim souvenirs known to have been in use from the late 12th century and contained holy water from a shrine or other site of pilgrimage. The W or double V has been interpreted as symbolising the words Virgo Virginum indicating reference to Mary, Mother of God, but has also been interpreted as a W indicating reference to the shrine at the popular pilgrimage site of Walsingham. Many ampullae are recorded on the database and similar examples include SOMDOR-C337D7 and SUR-94F5D4.

In the latter the author notes: Similar crosses were included in burials of the later medieval and early post-medieval period (Gilchrist and Sloane 2005, 92-93)

DOR-BC6F46: CLOTH SEAL
A two disc lead cloth seal. The seal is formed of two oval discs joined by an integral rivet on the rear decorated disc passing through a circular hole in the other disc. One disc is moulded with a design of a probable crowned portcullis within a beaded border and surrounded by a legend, now largely illegible. The other disc is undecorated and has a large central aperture for the integral rivet. Part of the legend reads --- O (cinquefoil) VE--- Date: Post Medieval - c. 1550 - 1625 Dimensions: 20.72 mm x 17.50 mm x 3.69 mm Weight: 5.53 g Geoff Egan notes that the portcullis was "the main design for alnage seals in the late Tudor period... and continued in use into the early seventeenth century" (Egan 1995: 9). Alnage seals indicated the cloth had been checked for quality by a Crown official and that the subsidy (tax) had been paid. Egan (1992, 2) notes that "Seals with poorly rendered versions of the portcullis are thought to be counterfeits, placed on unexamined cloths in order to avoid paying tax." Similar examples on the database include: SOM-638FCB, DOR-E089FD, DOR-DFF94A, IOW-6C2988 & SF-6E0501.

DOR-3CF098: AMPULLA
A Medieval lead Pilgrims Ampulla dating c. 1300 - 1500. Rounded lower chamber with slightly flaring neck. One side shows an angled cut across the neck probably indicating that the Ampulla was opened to release its content. The top of the neck above the cut is missing. There is some patterning on both sides of the rounded lower chamber. On the same side as the cut in the neck the lower chamber shows a crown above a double V probably meaning Virgo Virginum indicating reference to Mary, Mother of God. The other side of the lower chamber possibly shows a floral design but is hard to discern. Height : 36.5mm Width : 29.3mm Thickness : 6.8mm Weight : 25.23g Ampullae were pilgrim souvenirs known to have been in use from the late 12th century and contained holy water from a shrine or other site of pilgrimage.

DOR-1CCD9F: WEIGHT
A conical lead weight. At the apex is an integrally cast large suspension lug with a small sub-circular pierced hole. The lug is flattened and narrowed from the apex and is rounded on the upper edge. It has been bent over and distorted. Set opposite each other about halfway down the conical body of the weight are two projections which appear to be the ends of a circular cross sectioned wire cast into the weight (either the ends of one object or two separate pieces). The circular base of the weight is slightly concave and has a small off-centre void or depression. There is some recent damage to the base.

DOR-136FB1: TOY
An incomplete cast Post-Medieval lead toy, possible toy whistle, dating to AD 1600 - 1900. The body is cylindrical and hollow with decorative projections and handle. The cylinder flares outwards slightly towards one end, there is an off-centre hole visible at both ends and probably running through the length of the cylinder, this is wider at the flared end. The main cylindrical body is decorated with lines of pellets and in places a decorative floral pellet design can be seen and is created by a slightly larger pellet in the middle, surrounded by up to a dozen smaller pellets in a circular formation. The full detail of the decoration has been onscured by what appear to be hammer marks. Along the length of the cylinder is an open worked curvilinear handle, with curled ends and an internal curl. At the opposing edge are two projecting flanges, towards the smaller holed ends is a rounded knop, Closer to the flared end is a larger semi-circular projection, which is rectangular in cross section and decorated on both sides with a series of pellets that form a flower. The toy whistle appears unfinished and possibly poorly cast. The hole at the flared end is not entirely central, and does not appear wide enough or as complete as other examples, see SOM-E63B28. Length: 67.82 mm Width: 38.55 mm Thickness: 12.74 mm Weight: 98.09 g Laura Burnett has commented within SOM-E63B28 that: 'The aperture at closed end and lack of vent hole suggests that the toy is more likely to be a whistle rather than a cannon...It is not certain whether lead alloy whistles were nautical boatswain's (bosun) whistles (Redknap, M. 'Bosuns whistles' in Gardiner and Allen 2005), toys, musical instruments, pilgrim souvenirs or all of these. As they were a symbol of status, base metal boatswain's whistles were seen as impractical (Spencer, 1998, 107). This has led to their interpretation as toys or pilgrim souvenirs.' Similar artefacts recorded on the database as whistles include: DUR-553C2B and SOM-E63B28

DOR-E0FCDB: BULLA
A complete cast lead or lead alloy papal bulla of Pope Boniface IX (VIIII) dating to the Medieval period November 1389 - October 1404. The front (recta) side of the bulla depicts the faces of Saints Peter and Paul with a cross between them. Over the images appears the abbreviation of St Paul and St Peter 'SPA SPE'. St. Paul is depicted with a long beard and a balding scalp with little hair, and St Peter has a crimped beard with curly hair formed from small sub oval pellets. Both heads are enclosed within a border of pellets (or pearls). There is a cross between the two heads. The reverse (verso) side of the bulla shows the name of the Pope, which is written in the nominative, with his abbreviated title (PP: Pastor Pastorum - Shepherd of the Shepherds) and ordinal number (VIIII). This is distributed over three lines: BONI / FIATIUS: / P P: VIIII. The F and I are ligatured. Both faces of the bullae are encircled with a border formed from a ring of pellets or 'pearls'. Obverse: SPA SPE Reverse: BONI FIATIUS: P P: VIIII Diameter: 36.91 mm Thickness: 5.27 mm Weight: 43.61 g The papal bulla is a mid grey cream colour with an even and well formed patina which covers all surfaces. The papal bulla is a formal seal of office used by the Popes to stamp and authenticate documents produced by the papal curia. Dr Tim Pestell has commented on other records: "Papal bulls came as two basic types, according to the contents of the document: Tituli, or "Letters of Grace", essentially granted or confirmed rights, conferred benefices or promulgated statutes. They generally had their lead bullae attached with cords of silk. Mandamenta, or "Letters of Justice" were mandates that conveyed papal orders, prohibitions or injunctions, and had their bullae attached by hemp threads". Boniface IX is quite a prolific issuer of bulls but this seems to be the result of a relatively long pontificate. Pope Boniface IX was elected Pope on 2nd November, 1389, as successor of the Roman Pope, Urban VI; he died in Rome on 1st October, 1404. Similar examples can be seen on the database: HESH-F307A6 and WMID-C8CC52

DOR-992868: CLOTH SEAL
A post medieval lead cloth seal dating to c.1500-1650. It is circular in plan. This two-part seal is of the type used on bales of fustian originating from the Bavarian city of Augsburg. One face bears a capital A with a chevron bar. The opposing face bears unclear traces of a pinecone design. Reference: A very similar seal recorded in 'Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items at the British Museum' by Geoff Egan, (Egan 1994: 106, fig. 41, refs: 308-310) has been attributed to Augsburg in Germany. They are thought to be from mixed linen warp and cotton weft fabric which this city was famed for. Diameter: 8.41 mm Thickness: 3.98 mm Weight: 4.82

DOR-7784ED: WEIGHT
A possibly Medieval lead weight of an unknown date. The weight would once have been conical in shape, but has been cut down the centre, possibly to check how deep the suspension loop hole had been cast. further attempts at cutting the weight can be seen through a further two incisions made to one side. The weight has a white patina and is heavily pitted. Other examples of this weight can be seen in LANCUM-F02BA8. Height: 38.09 mm Diameter: 46.46 mm Weight 396g

DOR-BC69D3: CLOTH SEAL
A lead cloth seal A two part seal. One disc is solid with an integral circular rivet at the rear which pierces the rear disc The discs are joined by a narrow integral strip. There is the remnant of an inscription on the first disc. An alnage seal from London. Disc one: CIVITA[S LONDON] - Crowned shield of the Stuart arms Disc two: [---] VLL[--] Shield with a cross, a sword in the first quarter. The Arms of London. Date: Post Medieval - early 17th century Dimensions: 28.00 mm x 23.34 mm x 4.10 mm Weight: 8.45 g Similar cloth seals are recorded in Egan, G, 1994, Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum, Figure 20, nos. 62 and 65. Geoff Egan notes that alnage seals were used to mark cloth that had been inspected or "searched" by an officer of the crown (an alnager) and have met the relevant requirements in terms of quality, legal stipulations for dimensions etc. and that the tax (subsidy) had been paid. This was necessary before the cloth could legally be sold (ibid, p. 2).

DOR-32DDD8: VESSEL
A lead vessel repair or pot mend. Cast plug to repair a hole in a vessel. A small piece of oxidised potter fabric remains. Sand tempered. Date: Medieval to Post Medieval Diameter: 34.21 mm Thickness: 8.91 mm Weight: 44.48 g

DOR-CA6473: SEAL
A cast lead seal from a flax bale. A disc of lead with a hole passing through the upper part of the disc through the edge, for the attachment of a cord, wire or ribbon to attach the seal to the bale. The following is cast in relief on the faces: Obverse: The shield of the Baltic states (shield with a cross in the centre, pellets above and flanking the upper arm) set in a pellet border Reverse: Initial MT (ligated) /12K Date: Late Post Medieval - c. 1750 - 1850 Dimensions: 21.13 mm x 20.40 mm x 4.33 mm Weight: 10.10 g On the website of the Peacehavens Project which has recorded and photographed a wide range of flax and hemp bale seals. In relation to seals of this type, Ged Dodd of the Peacehavens Project (www.peacehavens.co.uk) recording flax and hemp seals states that there is no way of dating these seals except from association with other seals with which they have been found . 9K and 12K seals are late 18th / early 19th Century whereas 6K seals (found only in Denmark and Sweden) are thought to be 16th century (Dodd, Ged, http://www.peacehavens.co.uk/BSTYPES.htm#CODEMOVE02 ). The inscription on the reverse comprises the initials of the Grower/Owner/Agent trading the flax and the mark of quality of the flax (in this instance 12K for 12 heads of top quality crown flax (Dodd, ibid). A close parallel can been seen in record HESH-E34128 which, in common with records of these seals on the PAS database, references a comment from the late Geoff Egan that these are possibly datable to 1600 - 1800. The Peacehavens Project has since suggested the later date range applied here.

DOR-38796C: SPINDLE WHORL
Lead spindle whorl or weight. A truncated biconical whorl or weight with a slightly off-cenntre large, circular aperture (diameter 9.49 mm). Undecorated. Date; Medieval to Post-Medieval - c. 1200 - 1600 Dimensions: Height: 18.44 mm Diameter: 23.92 mm Diameter of central hole: 9.49 mm Weight: 42.80 g Similar to database records NLM-37FE13, YORYM-F89CBD and WMID-7272F6

DOR-E5AEC6: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
A lead object dating to c.1600-1900. The object is a type previously recorded as a palm guard for leather-working. Plano-convex in cross section and and is sub-ovate in shape. On the flatter face is a large circular recess with smaller irregular circular indentations on the convex face, possibly needle marks. The object has suffered some edge loss of one side, probably due to post depositional processes. The metal is grey and buff in colour with a pitted and corroded patina Date: Post Medieval Dimensions: 90.34 mm x 49.66 mm x 8.07 mm Weight: 148.30 g .Brian Read (2018 Metal sewing thimbles found in Britain) has disputed the identification of these items as palmguards for several reasons, hence assigning this as an unidentified object. Dating of these artefacts is very difficult; the earliest examples seem to date from the 17th century, although they may have been in use right through to the 20th century (Bailey, 1993, page 64) Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Database: SWYOR-0E65DB, SUR-C563FD and DUR-B1AFC6

SOM-A4BC67: SPINDLE WHORL
A complete lead-alloy spindle whorl of Medieval date, probably c.AD 1100 - 1300 but possibly as late as 1600. The spindle whorl is dome shaped (hemi-spherical) with a convex front and flat back and a central perforation (10.2mm diameter) running through it. . The upper surface is decorated with 11 large pellets. Six of these are spaced around the central hole to mark the points of a hexagon shape. Five further projecting knops are placed c3.7mm from these near the outside edge of the spindle whorl while a sixth appears to have been chipped away in an old scar. The pellets are placed within square and triangular cells defined by raised straight lines, some of which have been abraded to to become almost invisible. The lines criss-cross each other, most run form the central hole to the outer edge, some at an angle, some run across from edge to edge. The flat reverse of the whorl is plain The spindle whorl has a pale cream patina, but has been abraded and chipped in several places revealing the dark grey of the lead beneath. It measures 31.5mm in diameter, 9.4mm thick and weighs 44.17 grams Standley (2016) has discussed Medieval lead spindle whorls and suggests they were in use from the 12th to the 15th or 16th century. Her examples form dated contexts suggest most high Medieval examples with bi-conical with the only hemi-spherical example from a context dated to the 12th to 13th century (ibid: 282). While the general form could be equated to Walton Rodgers Form A1 dating from the 6th century onwards these are usually undecorated with decorated examples being Medieval (Walton Rogers, 2007, p 25). Walton Rogers (ibid) cites Ivens et al (1995) in suggesting that bi-conical whorls with dots are Post Medieval.

Half of a lead medieval papal bulla probably dating to c. AD 1187-1404. There is less than half remaining but the bulla was originally circular and flat with a hole down the middle for the cord. It has broken along this hole, presumably when it was removed from the document. The obverse with the papal name within a pellet border only has a small section of inscription left. It reads [...]/[...NS or US / [...]III. . The reverse shows St Paul with his pointy beard of lines within an oval border of pellets on the bottom half and the letters SPA above him, the rest of the design is missing, it is all within a pellet border. Its length measures 34.6mm and the width is 18.3mm. It weighs 15.77g. The small amount remaining of the name suggests the pope can be narrowed down to either Clement III (1187-1191) or IV (1265-1268) and Boniface IX (1389-1404), however not enough remains to distinguish between them and the highly conservative design of bulla means we cannot distinguish them on design. Of the three bulla of Boniface IX are most common.

DOR-7F029D: WEIGHT
An incomplete lead and iron steelyard weight. The weight is bi-conical and there are remnants of iron wire suspension loops at either apex. Date: Possibly Roman - c. AD 43 - 410 Dimensions: 31.22 mm x 26.56 mm Weight: 82.62 g There are many similar examples recorded on the database, including NLM-98EBFF

DOR-7EED99: WEIGHT
An incomplete lead and iron steelyard weight. The weight is conical with a circular depression in the base. At the top is the remnant of an iron wire suspension loop. The casting and finish are crude, leaving a rough surface. There is a diagonal gouged groove at one side. Date: Uncertain - c. 43 - 1750 AD. Dimensions: 32.20 mm x 25.10 mm Weight: 92.74 g There are many similar examples recorded on the database, including LANCUM-8AB064 where Lydia Prosser notes that it is unfortunately not possible to assign a more precise date range to this object; examples from dated contexts range from the Roman period to the modern day.

DOR-7EBC99: WEIGHT
A lead weight. A small conical weight with a slightly concave base and looped top. The sides are decorated with four, equally spaced vertical ridges. The top is pinched in to form a flat-sided, flat topped projecting tab with a small circular pierced hole. Date: Mediieval to Post Medieval - c. 1200 - 1600 Dimensions: 22.82 mm x 16.01 mm (diameter at base) Weight: 22.76 g A similar weight is recorded in database record IOW-5353EB

DOR-96F46B: TOKEN
A biface cast lead token. Both faces carry relief designs of stylised quadrupeds, probably horses. On one face the animal is depicted trotting right, front left leg raised. On the other face the animal is depicted gallopping left with all legs outstretched in the manner of the "flying gallop" seen paintings of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, possibly indicating a date for this token. Powell Classification, type 19. Date: Modern - 1750 - 1850 Diameter: 18.52mm Thickness: 2.99mm. Weight: 3.57g.

DOR-994948: WEIGHT
A lead weight, probably a steelyard weight. The weight is an elongated pyramid with a truncated apex. There is pierced hole running from the apex to the base where it emerges slightly off- centre. The base ia sub- angular and slightly dished around a collar encircling the hole. The dishing suggests this was cast in an open mould, point downwards. THe collar indicates that the lead was still fairly soft when the hole was made. The weight is equivalent to approximately 2.5 ounces. Date: Uncertain - Medieval to Post- Medieval - c. 1400 - 1800 Dimensions: 28.72 mm x 20.64 mm x 20.74 mm Weight: 73.18 g

DOR-F46C61: CLOTH SEAL
A lead two part cloth seal dating to c.1600-1700. One side is stamped with a simple monogram in the form of the letters RN with three pellets above within a circle. There is a letter stamped on the other side, possibly an L or Y or possibly a 7. Such marks were use by clothes weavers and dyers as personal seals in the late 16th to late 17th centuries. Date: Post Medieval Dimensions: 25.59mm x 20.16mm Weight: 14.60g

DOR-8C81D5: CLOTH SEAL
A two-part lead cloth seal. Two large discs joined by a narrow tab at one side. On the back of disc one are two integral pointed hooks which pass through holes in disc two and are bent diagonally accross the disc. Disc one: A fleur de lys with a Gothic letter d above to the left and an indistinct design above and to the right. Disc two: traces of Gothic lettering Date: Medieval - c. 1300 - 1500 Dimensions: 25.99 mm x 4.50 mm Weight: 10.39 g

DOR-550053: PILGRIM BADGE
An incomplete lead medieval pilgrim's badge of St Anne, dating to c.1400-1500. Probably from her shrine at Buxton, Derbyshire, but relics of St Anne were also claimed by Canterbury, Reading and Durham, and so it may alternatively have been produced at one of these places. The badge depicts St Anne teaching her daughter, the Virgin Mary, to read. St Anne and the Virgin Mary are both depicted wearing long dresses or robes. St Anne is wearing a veil or headdress. The Virgin Mary is depicted as being slightly smaller than St Anne. On the reverse is a bent, long and tapering integral attachment pin, it is sited on the reverse of the St. Anne's head. The badge has suffered some lower edge loss. Reference: Spencer, B, 1998, p.176-177, no.196c. Lewis, M, 2015, p. 38. Similar examples on the database include: PUBLIC-341C2D, SOMDOR148, WILT-85E7A5, CORN-5116C3 & NLM-D36812, Date: Medieval. Dimensions: 33.0 x 19.9 x 3.1mm. Weight: 4.67g. Spencer (1998) and Lewis (2015) note that some examples of this type which retain the head of the Virgin Mary, show her crowned, serving the dual purpose of highlighting her role as Queen of Heaven and avoiding showing her as subordinate to her mother. St Anne's cult appears to have been particularly strong in the 15th century. In England, relics of St. Anne were claimed at Canterbury, Durham and Reading, although her most famous shrine was at Buxton, Derbyshire

DOR-D3D309: CLOTH SEAL
A worn two-part lead alloy cloth seal dating to 1508 -1553. One face of the seal depicts a king enthroned, holding a spear and sceptre with the Arms of England visible on his tabbard. The letter H can be seen between the king's legs with a legend SIG[ILLVM CVS]TOM HENRY VIII. These cloth seals were used for imports of fine patterned cloth. Reference: comparisons are illustrated in the Salisbury Museum Medieval Catalogue volume 3 (Saunders et al. 1991, pg.63, nos.106-108, fig.23). A similar seal found in West Berkshire can be seen on the PAS database: BERK-CE29E4 Date: Post Medieval. Diameter: 21.03 mm Thickness: 5.05mm Weight: 8.68 g

A lead disc, possibly the head from a nail. A disc with the Roman capitals VM in relief on one face. Reference: See record WILT-739D03 on the PAS database for a possible parallel. Date: Post Medieval. Diameter: 9.6 mm Thickness: 1.6 mm Weight: 0.31 g

DOR-5B973F: MINIATURE OBJECT
A lead possible toy or miniature horseshoe. The horse shoe has a U-shaped aperture, traces of a calkin at the end of one arm and traces of indentations to indicate nail holes around it on one face. Date: Post Medieval - c 1500 - 1700 Dimensions: 22.26 mm x 18.09 mm x 2.69 mm Weight: 4.37 g The miniature shoe is similar in style to types generally dated to c. 1250 - 1600

DOR-380BB0: VESSEL
A lead pot mend. The object is in the form of a crude lead stud with a convex, wide haed in one side and a smaller, flatter disc on the other. Remains of the ceramic fabric are visible in the recess between the two ends, but it is not possible identify the pottery type or closely date it. Date: Medieval to Early Post Medieval - c. 1200 - 1600 The pot mend measures 34.69mm in length and is 14.75mm thick. It weighs 48.60 grams.

DOR-D1CD4E: WEIGHT
A composite weight with lead, iron and gilded copper alloy components. A thin angular piece of lead with a fragment of a heavily gilded copper alloy Insular mount attached to it with a large dome-headed iron rivet. The lead is sub-angular in outline, rectangular in cross section and slightly hollowed at the rear (11.08 mm thickness). The re-used sheet metal mount is incomplete with an outcurved original edge at one side and the others cut square. At the side opposite the curved edge the two corners are incurved and retain gilding, indicating the they too are part of the original shaping of the mount (between them the edge has been cut to shape like the two other sides). At one of these corners the lead has been shaped to follow the outline of the mount. It is decorated with a chip-carved design of stylised leaves and curled tendrils. Set slightly off-centre is a large domed rivet (14.45 mm diameter) which has been bent to one side at the rear. The object appears complete. Date: Middle Early Medieval - c. AD 700 - 850 Dimensions: 34.17 mmx 32.47 mm x 14.32 mm Weight: 70.60 g Dr Kevin Leahy has given an 8th century date for the mount (pers comm)

DOR-54AC3A: POWDER MEASURE
A lead alloy powder flask cap. A cap for a powder holder. Open at one end and closed at the other. The cap is oval at the flat, closed end and squashed and misshapen and the open end. There are two loops at the closed end, one either side. Date: Post Medieval - c. 1600 - 1700 Dimensions: 33.32 mm x 20.32 mm x 15.90 mm Weight 19.93 g. The cap probably dates to the 17th century (Courtney, P. 1988 'Small Arms Accessories of the mid Seventeenth Century' Finds Research Group Datasheet 11) Frank Basford comments on a similar example recorded in database record IOW-4869F8 The loops enabled the cap to be attached separately to the bandolier (belt) of the wearer so that they could be removed without the possibility of being dropped and lost. The measure would have held enough powder for a complete charge for the weapon. A series of these measures were attached to the bandolier.

DOR-EB2B54: WEIGHT
A complete cast lead uniface weight of possible Medieval or Post Medieval date. It is circular and decorated with a central moulded equal armed cross. The arms reach almost to the edge of the weight. The upper face has a rounded edge. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Date: Medieval 1300-1500. Diameter: 49.24 mm Thickness: 11.12 mm Weight: 110.21 g

DOR-07CFB2: SEAL
A complete lead alloy Russian hemo seal of late post-medieval date. The seal is sub oval in plan with worn edges and a roughly rectangular cross section.There are two rectangular slots running parallel across its diameter through which wire or textile ligatures would have fitted in order to secure a bag. Both faces of the seal bear raised lettering.The surface of the seal has a light cream/grey coloured patina. The obverse inscription is illegible. The reverse inscription reads: SPB / AR1H / 1756 The seal measures 28.36mm long, 22.90mm wide and 7.25mm thick. It weighs 28.53g. These types of seal were used as a means to monitor and ensure the quality of products such as flax hemp from Russia (Sullivan, J. 2000 'Lead Seals of Russian Origin in Fife' Tayside and Fife Archaeological Journal, Volume 6, pp.211-227). Ged Dodd has kindly commented that all hemp seals before 1829 have SPB meaning that hemp tax was paid to and certified by St Petersburg (and not that it came from St. Petersburg Port). The next line AR 1 H (H is the Cyrillic N) indicates that the Grower/Owner/Agent initials are A.R and 1 H is number 1 Grade or Sorted in 1756.

DOR-232653: BULLA
A cast lead papal bulla probably of Pope Innocent IV (in office 1243-1254). The obverse reads INNO/CENTIVS/PP I[V] in three lines. The reverse is very worn, but the faces of St. Paul and St. Peter with the inscription SPA above Paul and SPE above Peter, within a border of small pellets, a cross pattee between them can be identified. The bulla has a cream coloured patina. Both faces are worn and marked. Reference: Similar bullae can be seen in Saunders, 2001, Salisbury & South Wiltshire Museum Medieval Catalogue, pg.91-92. Date: Medieval. Diameter: 39.11 mm Thickness: 4.63 mm Weight: 41.53 g These were attached to official papal documents.

DOR-D93BFA: CLOTH SEAL
A two part lead cloth seal. Two circular discs joined by a central integral rivet and a narrow strip at one edge. On face is undecorated and the other bears a raised design of an open crown over a rose. Date: Late Medieval to Early Post Medieval - c. 1400 - 1550 Dimensions: 23.60 mm x 26.50 mm x 4.70 mm Weight: 12.93 Similar to an example from Essex recorded in Egan, G 1994, Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum, p. 26, No. 14 & p. 161, plate 11

DOR-2CA293: WEIGHT
A discoidal uniface lead pan weight dating to the c.12th - c.13th century. The weight is sub-circular with chamferred sides and is decorated with eight moulded lines radiating from a central roundel. The reverse is undecorated apart from a rim. Reference: Read. B, 2016, pg.122, no.839 A similar example can be seen on the database: SUR-68804C Date: Medieval. Dimensions: 43.02mm x 37.77mm x 11.76mm. Weight: 121.93g.

DOR-DA62A6: AMPULLA
An incomplete lead pilgrim's ampulla which would have held holy water from a shrine. The lead flask is rounded with a tall sub-rectangular flaring neck and retains the stubs of two attachment loops (one either side) which would have joined to the neck and provided a means of attachment. The faces of the object would have been flat or slightly convex, but have been pressed in. Both faces have cast raised line decoration. On one face is a quatrefoil with long petals with cross hatched infill. The other side is less clear, showing a cross hatched heart with stylised crown above, example of which can be seen here LIN-8A5CC7 Reference: Similar examples are illustrated in Salisbury Museum Catalogue part 2, Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges, no.186 (quatrefoil side), no.184 (crown side) Date: Medieval to post medieval - c.1350-1530. Dimensions: 54.9mm x 34.5mm x 8.2mm. Weight: 56.02g.

CORN-F3557F: SPINDLE WHORL
Cast lead spindle whorl, circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile and section, with a neat circular hole that is 8.4 mm in diameter. Both surfaces are pitted with circular indentations that average about 1 mm in diameter. These are seen locally on ceramic spindle whorls but lead whorls are not normally decorated in Cornwall, but this find is from Dorset and was found with other Roman artefacts. Experimental work with spindle whorls show that flat and symmetrical examples like this work best for spinning and holding the wool. Bishop (1996) illustrates a flat and pitted lead spindle whorl that is identical in size, from Roman Aldborough, on page 31, fig.17, no.172.

SOM-7E1AEE: CLOTH SEAL
A Post-Medieval lead cloth seal, probably dating to c. AD 1500-1800. A 2-part seal. Disc 1 is incomplete and stamped with a probable monogram ligating a T with one or more letters, probably an O. The stamp on disc 2 is less clear, it consists of a central straight line over which run a series of crescents, with two smaller crescents on each end, opening outwards, and with three pairs of overlapping, larger opposed crescents along its length. Around this is a noew illegible inscription: [...]Y[...]ALME[...]. Dimensions: length: 28.5mm; width 23.2mm; thickness 2.7mm; weight 8.30g. No exact parallel for this object has been found, and the unusual design probably respresents a personal seal. BH-48A932, on this database, appears to have a similar disc 2 stamp.

SOM-7D9D63: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete Post-Medieval lead alnage cloth seal, probably dating to c. AD 1575-1603. Disc 4 of a 4-disc cloth seal, with the remains of two connecting strips on opposing sides of the disc. The disc has been stamped, although this has been largely obscured by the large aperture created by the rivet. The survivign stamp consists of the letter E to the left of a single arched crown, surmounting a probable shield or portcullis, the upper left corner of which can be seen. The right half of the disc is worn and no R can be seen. The number 13 is scratched in Roman numerals between 5 and 4 o'clock. Dimensions: length: 20.8mm; width 23.4mm; thickness 1.2mm; weight 4.19g. The position of the E to the left of the crown would imply a likely R to the right, although it is no longer visible, suggesting a date within the reign of Elizabeth I (cf. similar example for James I, Egan 1994, no. 125). Although early for a 4-part seal, Egan (1992) does note that they were probably in use by the late 16th century.

SOM-7CE2E5: CLOTH SEAL
A Post-Medieval lead cloth seal, dating to AD 1550-1700. A two-disc seal with the connecting strip surviving intact. Disc 1 is plain but with the number 33 scratched into its surface. Disc 2 is stamped with a privy mark consisting of the intials (F?) E flanking interlace forming three loops which connects to a tun or barrel below, with this having three collars on either side. The mark has a corded border. Dimensions: length 28.3mm; width 21.3mm; thickness 4.8mm; weight 8.12g. No exact parallel has been found for this seal, although it is probably the personal seal of a Clothier, Weaver or Searcher. The use of interlace connecting intials would probably suggest a date in the 16th or 17th centuries cf. Egan (1994), nos. 219, 240. Egan also publishes an example featuring intials flanking a tree over a tun or barrel (no. 249), suggested to be of the same date range.

SOM-7C48C6: CLOTH SEAL
A Post-Medieval lead London Dyer's Cloth seal, dating to AD 1613-1800. A two-disc seal with the connecting strip surviving intact. The first disc is stamped with a cart wheel, with +RICH: GOSSAGE around. The second disc is plain. Dimensions: length 19.7mm; width 15.8mm; thickness 3.5mm; weight 4.92g. Similar seal can be seen on this databse, LON-490183, on Bagseals.org, BSG.CS.00851, as well as in the Museum of London's collections, 81.4/16 and 81.4/15. These seals all feature a stamp on the reverse, and none clearly feature the abreviation of Richard seen here.

SOM-170440: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete Post-Medieval lead 4-disc cloth seal, dating to c. AD 1550-1800. Three of four discs survive. One disc is depicts a shield with an indented side, quartered by a triple stranded cross with a truncated probable sword in one field, the lower two quarters empty. Around this is the legend (pellet) CIVITA(T) [...](I) . The other disc is stamped by the initials AW, with a possible third below. Dimensions: length 29.7mm; width 15.5mm; thickness 2.9mm; weight 5.08g. This seal is most likely a seal of London, with similar seals with triple stranded crosses and swords of St. Paul in the upper left corner illustrated by Egan (1994: 170-172).

SOM-166D1D: CLOTH SEAL
A Post-Medieval lead cloth seal, issued during the reign of James I (AD 1603-1625) and dating to AD 1612. An incomplete probable 4-disc alnage seal, with two discs surviving, although now in two parts, broken at a fresh break. Disc 1 is stamped with a crowned thistle between [1]6 - 12, disc 2 is less clear, but appears to be 810 below [...]ET. Dimensions: Disc 1: length 19.6mm; width 16.2mm; thickness 1.3mm; weight 2.20g. Disc 2: length 18.7mm; width 17.5mm; thickness 2.2mm; weight 2.86g. Although no direct parallel has been idenitfied for this seal, the crowned thistle frequently appeared on alnage seals in this period, see for example Egan (1994: 178, no. 141).

SOM-163447: CLOTH SEAL
A Post-Medieval lead cloth seal, probably dating to c. AD 1550-1800. The seal is incomplete, with only the integral rivet and an adjoining section of the disc from which it expands surviving. The surviving section of the disc depicts a design of an eagle or perhaps more likely, a griffin, advancing left, right foot in front with each talon terminating in a pellet. Dimensions: length 15.7mm; width 14.4mm; thickness 2.8mm; weight 3.13g. A similar, but not identical Italian seal can be seen at

DOR-600602: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete lead alloy two-part cloth seal. Disc 1: COM SOM - crowned ornate shield with the arms of England and a rose to the left. Lombardic lettering. Disc 2: illegible - crowned emblem, possibly a rose or rose and sun. Reference: Similar to Mitchener, p. 216, no. 621 Date: Late Medieval to early Post Medieval - c.1474 - 1550 Dimensions: 22.22 mm x 21.67 mm x 4.98 mm Weight: 8.18 g Dr Naomi Payne notes in database record SOM-EACB08 for a similar cloth seal that such seals are official issue from the alnage, the regulatory system by which each newly woven textile had to be individually examined to ensure it was of good enough quality for the market, then sealed with a cloth seal to show this.

DEV-555D42: WEIGHT
A Lead weight of unknown date, c. AD 1200-1850. The weight is circular in plan and flat in cross section, with the upper face having a rounded edge. The weight is marked with a central, small, equal armed cross which stands slightly proud of the incuse circular field that it sits within. The cross is surrounded by four pellets, with one in each corner but all outside of the field. The reverse is plain. Dimensions: diameter 36.8mm; thickness 6.7mm; weight 41.14g.

DOR-4EEC18: COIN
A lead trial piece, probably for a coin of King Stephen (1135-1154). This would have been struck from a new set of coin dies before they were used to strike coins in silver. Obv. Crowned profile holding a sceptre/sword.+STI(EF-)N(E-)R(-) Rev. Bordered cross with fainter cross behind and dots. +GIL(L-)VLF:ON:NIPE The object is flat and sub-rectangular with rounded corners Length: 20.12mm, Width: 18.74mm, Thickness: 2.38mm, Weight: 5.70g Dr Martin Allen, whose transcription of the legends appears above, has commented that the obverse legend is clearly derived from the official coinage of King Stephen and that the mint on the reverse legend could suggest a moneyer's mark of Newport (Isle of Wight) or Newark. Dr Allen comments that there are no known coins of this type yet recorded.He further notes that the sword in the portarait is paralleled in the coinage of Patrick, Earl of Salisbury.

DOR-421881: WEIGHT
A cylindrical lead weight.The weight tapers slightly from bottom to top. There are indistinct designs on the top and bottom faces. The top face is slightly concave and has traces of a circle with a fleur de lys inside it and a cross on the top. This design appears to have been stamped on to the weight. The bottom face of the weight is slightly convex and has a small relief quatrefoil with curlicues above and to the side. Date: Medieval Dimensions: 54.1 mm x 51.8 mm x 26.6 mm Weight: 456 g

SOM-BB5262: CLOTH SEAL
Post medieval lead-alloy cloth seal. Complete two part seal consisting of two discs joined by a connecting strip and also the integral rivet from one disc which has gone through the hole in the centre of the other disc and, unusually, not stamped flat. On the disc with integral rivet is stamped a crowned ornate six or eight sided shield with the royal arms flanked by five petalled 'tudor' roses and surrounded by a line border. It would have been surrounded by a legend but this has gone off the edge. The other face, with the hole and rivet, is plain. The seal measures 25.3mm in diameter and is up to 30.2mm long including the tab. It weighs 18.99g. The seal is part of the county series in use in the 15th and early 16th century (Egan 1985:1, fig 5b), the other side should also have been stamped but it seems to be an error, a seal that hadn't been used (or an attempt to avid the tax by having a reusuable seal). Alnage seals indicated the cloth had been checked for quality by a Crown official and that the subsidy (tax) had been paid.

SOM-BB1B9B: CLOTH SEAL
Post medieval lead-alloy cloth seal. Complete two part seal consisting of two discs joined by a connecting strip and also the integral rivet from one disc which has gone through the hole in the centre of the other disc and been stamped flat. On the disc with the hole and the rivet are stamped with a crowned portcullis, surrounded by a legend, now unclear. The other face is plain. The object measures 21.7mm in diameter and is up to 28.1mm long including the tab. It weighs 11.92g. The portcullis was "the main design for alnage seals in the late Tudor period... and continued in use into the early seventeenth century" (Egan 1985, 9). Alnage seals indicated the cloth had been checked for quality by a Crown official and that the subsidy (tax) had been paid.

SOM-BAF191: CLOTH SEAL
A Post Medieval two part lead alnage seal. Originally formed of two circular discs joined by a strip of metal (cast as one piece). One disc and its integral central rivet survive. The rivet went through the other piece and was stamped flat. The remainign disc and the stamped part of the rivet both have incomplete inscriptions and designs. Disc: [S'VLLI'PA]O'VI[ALLE'LON] - around a crowned shield bearing the arms of England and flanked by the initials ER for Elizabeth I. This is a much abbreviated version of sigillum ulnagi pannorum venalium Londini which translates as "seal of alnage of saleable cloths of London" Rivet: [LONDINI PRO PANNIS LANICIS] 156(4) - around the arms of London (a triple stranded cross with a sword in the first quarter in an ornate shield. This translates as "for woollen cloths at London". The seal is 23.4mm in diameter, 28.8mm across and 2.9mm thick and weighs 6.86g. Egan (1994:40 and 170, figure 19, no.61) notes several examples of this type of seal from London and elsewhere and the description above is based on his for an example in the British Museum collection. He notes that they are generally dated 1564 and 1573.

CORN-CB51C1: CLOTH SEAL
Incomplete cast lead cloth seal, possibly a dyer's seal, consisting of two discs of unequal diameter, with one edge of the larger disc partly folded over the front face. There are traces of lettering around the edge of the larger disc and a clear imprint of a textile on the reverse. The remains of the smaller disc, which is 10 mm in diameter, are still attached to the central rivet on the front of the seal. This disc has a partial design consisting of possible ligatured initials or a double Latin cross, which may represent a 'grain tree', within a raised circle. Egan (1995) illustrates a similar example on p.188, fig.37, no.287 with initials within a heart shaped shield surmounted by the depiction of a "grain tree", the mythical source of red dye, grain or kermes (actually derived from the kermes beetle, which is shaped like a berry). Egan in Saunders (2001) illustrates a cloth seal with a similar privy mark on page 82, fig.23, no.110, which is dated from the 16th century, and a cloth seal with a pinecone above a vertical stem with a cross bar, forming a similar double cross, on page 84, fig.25. no.143, which is dated from the late 15th to the early 16th century.

DOR-4AD403: SEAL MATRIX
A cast lead seal matrix dating to the 13th century. The circular die has an outer border containing a legend with a personal inscription: SV-I-ETIW. In the centre there is a horseshoe motif. On the reverse there is a lug and bent attachment loop. Date: Medieval. Diameter: 23.26mm. Thickness: 5.86mm. Weight: 9.78g.

CORN-63CA54: TOKEN
A complete Medieval to Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular unifaced token. The token has a raised design of an equal armed cross overlaid by another, forming a cartwheel design. The reverse is undecorated and flat. Fletcher (2003) has a virtually identical example (un-numbered) on p.30, one of a collection of medieval and post-medieval lead tokens found fieldwalking by a Nottinghamshire finder. Bailey (2000) illustrates a similar token on page 14, fig.16, which is dated from the 17th century.

DOR-DFF94A: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete Elizabethan two part lead cloth seal dating to c.1558-1600. Part of one of the discs only. The outer face of the surviving half is decorated with a crowned portcullis surrounded by a circumferential inscription suggesting an Elizabethan date (Egan 1992, 2) the inscription is largely illegible. The reverse has a central integral rivet. The portcullis was "the main design for alnage seals in the late Tudor period... and continued in use into the early seventeenth century" (Egan 1995: 9). Alnage seals indicated the cloth had been checked for quality by a Crown official and that the subsidy (tax) had been paid.

DOR-631A2D: CLOTH SEAL
A fragment of a probable cast lead cloth seal dating to the 17th century. The piece is composed of a sub-circular disc decorated with a pellet circle around a raised inscription reading DORSET(pellet) with a central circle containing an illegible symbol. Originally there would have been a second disc with a perforation but this is now missing therefore the full design is not visible. The reverse of the disc is undecorated and flat. The seal has an oxidised surface forming a cream coloured surface. Date: Post Medieval. Diameter: 11.11mm Weight: 0.7g Reference: Similar to Egan, G, 1994 Lead Cloth Seals and Related Items in the British Museum, BM Occ. Papers 93, P. 25, no 13

CORN-2344B5: CURSE TABLET
Sheet lead rolled strip of unknown date, possibly a 'Roman curse tablet' (AD 43-410), as Roman coins were found in the same field. Although this object has been classified as a curse tablet, it is possibly more modern and may have performed an entirely different function, such as a weight or ingot. The strip has a spiral profile suggesting it was rolled rather than folded, which is more typical of such tablets. Linear ridges may have been created when it was being rolled or they may have taken on an impression of what is within or what the rolled strip was inserted into. As the object cannot be unrolled without damaging it, we cannot be sure if there is an inscription within. See IOW-F3FB7A for a similar example.

DOR-A9C73C: TOKEN
A probable lead biface token. Powell type 2 face, the piece is circular in shape and displays crudely engraved initials R.G dating to c.1700. The reverse design is illegible. Date: Post Medieval. Diameter: 10.08mm Thickness: 4.9mm Weight: 2.9g

DOR-A8A3FD: SEAL MATRIX
An incomplete medieval lead seal matrix dating to c.1200-1400. Pointed-oval in shape and decorated with a possible central cross moline. The inscription around is set between lines and reads +S': RICARDI. LE COLISER (the IS is very uncertain). This can be translated as Seal of Richard the Collier, perhaps. On the reverse there is a pierced attachment loop. Dimensions: 37.05mm x 21.05mm x 9.75mm, weight: 16.2g.

WILT-61B5A5: VESSEL
An incomplete lead vessel of unknown date. The remains are 68.20mm in height, 65.70 in width and the object has walls between 2.50mm and 4mm thick. It weighs c80g. What is extant is the top part (shoulders and some part of the walls) of what appears to have been a three sided vessel, the spout still in place. The inside of the vessel shows no sign of what it might have held, or enclosed. The outside is extremely ornate, each of the three sides (only part of one still present, the other two assumed from the shape of the shoulders of the vessel) decorated with moulding of a classical arch with scroll-like keystone, architrave, Ionic capital and columns all identifiable. The columns are at the corners of the three sides of the vessel. Within the arch is the moulding of another, recessed, arch, within which is an oval panel. It is assumed that this pattern is repeated on all three sides but only a little of the othe upper part of the remaining two sides is left. The spout is raised up on a short neck with a projecting collar above that, decorated with a scalloped edge. This then narrows to a circular opening, showing wear and damage and again decorated with a scalloped edge, more finely moulded in this case. The neck is 27.29mm in diameter, the collar 31mm in diameter and the opening 13.50mm in diameter. It is assumed that the vessel contained holy water or oil. It has been suggested that it could be a very large ampulla.

DOR-A81B4C: SEAL MATRIX
A lead object dating to 1500-1900. In the shape of a cylinder of lead with markings on one face. Possibly a seal matrix. Date: Post medieval. Length: 29.29mm Diameter: 17.44mm Weight: 63.6g

CORN-DD0F44: STEELYARD WEIGHT
Cast lead steelyard weight, circular in plan and biconical in profile, with the base of the iron suspension loop still within the upper aperture, that is 6 mm in diameter, at the apex of the weight. See YORYM-369198 for a similar lead biconical steelyard weight with an iron suspension loop that is dated from the Roman period. Read (2001) illustrates a similar lead biconical steelyard weight with a copper alloy suspension loop from Wiltshire on page 115, fig.72, no.830, which is dated from the 1st to the 4th century AD. Bailey (2011) illustrates a similar biconical lead steelyard weight with a copper alloy suspension loop on page 122, pic.14, which is dated from the Roman period.

SUR-CEA26A: POWDER MEASURE
A Post Medieval lead powder measure cap with two attachment lugs. On the upper face is a single cast ring and dot decoration.

DOR-BF4949: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete lead cloth seal. Half of a two part seal. The remaining disc is sub-circular with a small tab at one side which originally attached to the missing second disc.The front of the disc is decorated with a flat-topped, rounded shield. Inside the shield is a possible privy mark or other device. At the rear is a stub which originally passed through the central hole of the missing half. No detail of the decoration survives. Possibly a seal from a clothier or dyer. Date: Post Medieval - 15 th to 17th century Dimensions: 23.9 mm x 20.7 mm x 4.9 mm Weight: 4.89 g

WILT-9B2876: BUTTON
A lead zoomorphic button, of medieval or post-medieval period. The front is decorated in the shape of an animal head, possibly a lion, with prominent snout surrounded by what it seems to be a thick mane. The animal's face is defined by two big brows that frame the eyes and reach the nose. The wide snout fiils completely the lower part of the head. The external edge of the object is decorated with a set of grooves and ridges which create a sort of mane or hair. The back part, undecorated, is divided by two deep grooves crossing at right angle at the shank point. The loop has been folded and broken. The object measures 27.15mm in length, 23.50mm in width, 9.67mm in thick and weights 30.07g.

DOR-88B229: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete two part lead cloth seal. Part of one of the discs only.One side only is stamped and shows part of the Arms of England (a quartered shield with three lis in the upper left and bottom right quarters and three lions passant guardant in the remaining two quarters). Date: Medieval to Post-Medieval - c. 1550 - 1600 Diameter:10.35 mm Thickness: 2.64 mm Weight: 1.94 g Geoff Egan recorded similar seals issued in several counties and dated to the late 16th century.(Egan, G, 1991, Lead Cloths Seals and Related Items in the British Museum, British Museum Occasional Paper No. 93, p. 40, No. 61, Fig. 11)

DOR-BC490C: AMPULLA
An incomplete cast lead alloy pilgrim's ampulla. A flask-shaped ampulla. The chamber is hollow and circular. The neck is flared with un-pierced angled suspension loops at the sides. There is a tear in the neck and a hole in one side of the chamber, probably for the removal of the original contents. The chamber is decorated as follows: Side one: A circle subdivided by a series of intersecting lines across the diameter, framed by a band of short, angled lines. Side two: A relief stylised crown with four arches above a band with pellet decoration, surmounted by a large Fleur de Lys and a crude fleur de lis central ornament. Framed by a band of short, straight lines. Date: Late Medieval - C. 1350 - 1530 Dimensions: 51.88 mm x 37.15 mm x 6.31 mm Weight: 37.56 g Similar examples recorded from Dorset on the PAS database include: DOR-8820B3, DOR-0FBEC8, DOR-D3D673 and DOR-F07DF3 The ampulla would originally have contained holy water or annointing oil from a medieval shrine.

DOR-BC04CF: CLOTH SEAL
A lead two-part cloth or bag seal. Two circular discs joined by a tab. One side has an integral oval tab which is pushed through a circular hole in the other disc. Disc One: Probable numerals and letter scratched into the surface including VS above a 4, and II* at the edge Disc Two: a stamped design of a simple building with a hipped roof and a door with a ladder up to it. The building is perched on a triangle. Possibly a windmill. A letter M above. Post Medieval - possibly c. 1500 - 1700 Dimensions: 25.23 mm x 17.59 mm x 4.47 mm Weight: 6.60 g Similar to SF8425. According to Geoff Egan (pers. comm.) seals with a regular oval tab passed through a hole in the disc with scratched marks date from the late 18th - 19th century.

DEV-884822: WEIGHT
A Roman to Medieval cast lead alloy, or lead, perforated circular weight or spindle whorl, biconical with traces of a decorative pattern on both faces. On one face this is comprised of two concentric bands of raised dots (the ones in the outer band being larger than the ones oin the inner band) and on the other is a series of radiating lines.The weight has a circular perforation through the centre. In the "Finds Recording Guide", Geake (2001, p66) points out that: "The function of lead weights would have varied, from spindle-whorls to fishing weights to trade weights." She adds that spindle whorls should ideally be circular and must have a central perforation (ibid.). It is possible, therefore, that this lead weight is a spindle whorl. At the Austin Friary in Leicester (see Mellor and Pearce, 1981), a decorated whorl was found, still on its spindle, in a 13th to 15th century context. However, Geake (ibid.) states: "Dating of lead whorls is difficult. The drop spindle with which they were used continued in use until the end of the Medieval period in London and Winchester (Egan, 1998, "The Medieval Household: Daily Living c1150 - c1450", 255-261; and Biddle, 1990, "Object and Economy in Medieval Winchester"), and for perhaps a century longer in Norfolk (Margeson, 1993, "Norwich Households: Medieval and Post Medieval finds from Norwich Survey Excavations 1971 - 78",184-5)." She adds that, in Cottam in East Yorkshire, detectorists found decorated whorls in ploughsoil over the site of Roman buildings (Geake, ibid.). Without further context, is it not possible to closely date this lead weight. It could date to anytime between c43 and c1500 AD.

DOR-0A31BF: WEIGHT
A lead steelyard weight. A triangular prism of lead with an incomplete iron suspension loop at the apex.The sides of the triangle are slightly out-curved it has a rectangular cross section. There are traces of decoration at the base on one face. This is indistinct, but appears probably foliate or floral. Date:Post Medieval - c. 1500 - 1800 Dimensions: 27.93 mm x 15.48 mm x 12.29 mm Weight: 11.38 g

HAMP-D67604: TOKEN
A later Post-Medieval (perhaps 1700-1900) uniface lead token with slight wear, neatly executed with a raised letter H on one face, filling most of the field and with a slightly raised rim. Reference: See Mitchiner 5423 et seq.

DOR-B2B84A: AMPULLA
A cast lead alloy pilgrim's ampulla. The ampulla is hollow and flask-shaped with andgled suspension loops on either side of the wide neck. The body of the "flask" is circular and decorated with cast lines as follows: Side one: A compass drawn octofoil inside a framing circular border of a zig zag line with hatched infilling Side two: A flat-toppedpointed shield framing a crowned letter I. The ampulla is slightly squashed and distorted. Date: Late Medieval - C. 1350 - 1530 Dimensions: 41.73 mm x 39.09 mm x 8.09 mm Weight: 39.90 g The ampulla would originally have contained holy water from a medieval shrine. Spencer suggests the crowned I may be for Our Lady of Ipswich or a particular saint whose initial it represents e.g.St Ives (Ramsey Abbey, Hunts), St John e.g. of Beverley, St James (Reading Abbey), etc. (Spencer, B, 1990 Salisbury Museum Catalogue Part 2: Pilgrim Souvenirs and Secular Badges, Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, p.62 no.144 and p.91 fig.187)

DOR-A296C7: SHOT
A large lead musket ball. A slightly irregular sub-spherical ball with tarcs o f a casting line around the equator. Cast in a mould. The weight is appropriate for musket shot rather than smaller bore arms such as pistols and carbines. Date: Post medieval - c. 16th to 18th century Dimensions: 20.66 mm x 19.96 Weight: 45.88 mm

DOR-58A2C6: TOKEN
A lead, sub-circular uniface token or weight. One face is decorated with a cast relief design of eight radiating lines (like a cartwheel) with a central pellet and a pellet in each segment near the towards the edge. Powell classification Type 3.

DOR-DE8E85: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete lead cloth seal. On one face is and indistinct crowned shield. There are faint traces of a design on the other side, but it is not possible to discern what it is. Date: Medieval to Post Medieval Dimensions:21.91mm x 17.38 mm x 4.54 mm Weight:8.89 g

86 musket balls. All have visible casting seams. Date: Probably 17th century Average weight: 30.6 g Average diameter: 18 mm Total approximate weight: 2623 g

HAMP-94D641: WEIGHT
A corroded cast lead weight, probably a pan weight of post-medieval date. The weight is circular in plan with some bevelling and abrasions from the smaller upper surface to the larger lower. It is decorated on its upper face with a cross in relief dividing the surface into quarters. Incised finely on the flat lower surface is a pair of keys in saltire (cross keys). This device is found on a number of artefacts recorded on this database, all of post-medieval date; the keys are of this style. Through the keys is a vertical incision, with traces of a transverse incision and possible border towards the circumference. At 112g it is equivalent to around 3.6 troy ounces, or around 4 ounces avoirdupois (a quarter of a pound). This artefact has corroded to an off-white colour.

DOR-0FB6C8: AMPULLA
A cast lead pilgrims ampulla. A pouch shaped ampulla with a circular chamber and a long, slightly flaring neck. There are two suspension lugs, one at either side towards the base of the neck. The two faces of the chamber are decorated. Side one is flat and has indistinct moulded decoration, probably of a crown on a cross hatched background. Side two is convex and decorated with moulded decoration of a quatrefoil. The foils are pointed and decorated with a central spine and radiating diagonal lines to represent leaves or feathers. This example is similar to BERK-921FB2 and examples in Spencer, B, 1990, Salisbury Museum Medieval Catalogue, Part 2, p. 60 - 61, nos. 180 - 183 Date: Medieval - c. 1350 - 1500 Dimensions: 52.56 mm x 31.12 mm x 7.48 mm Weight: 30.52 g

DOR-C4AFD7: AMPULLA
A cast lead pilgrim's ampulla. A sub-circular chamber with a tall, flaring neck. There are traces of decoration on both faces. On on side are traces of a quatrefoil or octofoil design of as type frequently seen on ampullae (for example LIN-8A5CC7). Around the edge is a border of a zig zag with diagonal line infill of the trangular spaces created. On the other the design has been obscured by damage to the chamber so there is insufficient detail remaining for identification. Around the edge is a border of irregularly spaced and aligned lines. The ampulla has a split from the top of the neck to the centre of the chamber along one side. This was possibly made on removal of the contents. Such objects are thought to have contained holy water from shrines visited by pilgrims. Date: Medieval - 1300 - 1500 Dimensions: 52.66 mm x 30.83 mm x 9.27 mm Weight: 41.89 g

DOR-A78C81: POWDER MEASURE
A complete and misshapen cast lead cap for a powder measure. The open end of the cap is distorted and has a low external bead at the rim. The closed end of the cap is oval. It is thicker than the sides and has a slightly chamfered edge. Projecting from the edge at the closed end are two integral loops set opposite each other. Date: Post-Medieval - c. 1600-1700 Dimensions: 14.24 mm x 26.60 mm x 17.31 mm Weight: 13.71 g The cap would have been part of a small flask holding enough powder for a complete charge for the weapon, several of which were attached to the bandolier. The loops enabled the cap to be attached separately to the bandolier (belt) of the wearer so that they could be removed without being lost.

DOR-A68658: CLOTH SEAL
An incomplete lead cloth seal. Probably one part of a two-part seal. One face is impressed with the coat of arms of London (sword in the top left quarter) and inscribed CIVITATIS LONDON.Similar to Egan, G, 1985, Leaden Cloth Seals, nos. 62 -& 65, fig 20, page 171) where Geoff Egan noted ".....the series seems to continue from at least the early 1620s....perhaps into the eighteenth century, though the end date is uncertain" (ibid page 41). (Identified by Julie Cassidy, FLO Northamptonshire). Date: Early Post Medieval - Late Post Medieval - 17th to 18 th century Dimensions: 19.15 mm x 16.93 mm x 1.04 mm Weight: 1.50 g

DOR-3AD2F2: CLOTH SEAL
A two part lead alnage seal. Two circular discs joined by a strip of metal (cast as one piece). The two halves are both stamped with inscriptions and designs. One half has a hole where it has been broken away from the integral rivet. Side one: S'VLLI'PAO'VIALLE'LON - around a crowned shield bearing the arms of England and flanked by the initials ER for Elizabeth I. This is a much abbreviated version of sigillum ulnagi pannorum venalium Londini which translates as "seal of alnage of saleable cloths of London" Side two: LONDINI PRO PANNIS LANICIS 157[3] - around the arms of London (a triple stranded cross with a sword in the first quarter in an ornate shield. This translates as "for woollen cloths at London" Geoff Egan notes several examples of this type of seal from London and elsewhere and the description above is based on his for an example in the British Museum collection (Egan, G, 1994, Lead Cloth Seals and related items in the British Museum, pages 40 and 170, figure 19, number 61). He notes that they are generally dated 1564 and 1573. Date: Post Medieval - 1573 Dimensions: 60.94 mm x 25.87 mm x 4.24 mm Weight: 14.00 g

HAMP-2E4184: WEIGHT
A cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is circular in plan. It is decorated unifacially; the lower face is marked and worn but seemingly only as a result of old damage. The upper face features a design rendered in relief. It may represent a figure advancing right with a staff, or, the other way up, perhaps the Roman numerals 'III' or the letter 'IN', below which a pair of 'C' shapes and a transverse line. At 47.7g it is equivalent to around one-and-a-half troy ounces, or around one-and-two-thirds ounces avoirdupois. Biggs and Withers (2000, 24-26) features two round flat weights with different designs at 47.3g and 47.5g, and lots slightly heavier (50-55g). This artefact has corroded to an off-white colour. It has suffered a small loss towards its circumference.

WILT-4A0EA4: CLOTH SEAL
Post medieval lead 2-part cloth seal, measuring 14mm in diameter and 18.5mm in length (with connecting strip). It weighs 2.9g. The 'decorated' face depicts a fleur de lys within a border of tiny vertical lines. 16th/ 17t century.

DOR-E23092: CLOTH SEAL
One disc from a two-part lead cloth seal. The front of the disc shows a shield with semy-de-lis, a label with (?towers) on the tags. Geoff Egan notes that on a similar seal (No. 296 the catalogue of "Lead Seals and Related Items in the British Museum") these are the Arms of the County of Artois and (from a second set of arms) that seal is from Béthune. On the back is a central, sub-circular rivet, by which the seal was attached to the cloth. Around this, the back of the disc has a clear imprint of the weave of the fabric. Date: Post-medieval - 16th to 17th century Dimensions: 14.66 mm diam x 2.77 mm thick Weight: 2.06 g

DOR-C00AB8: VESSEL
A probably medieval lead mend for a pottery vessel. An irregularly shaped piece lead with one large plate and one smaller. The larger plate is sub-triangular with a smoothed surface and a slightly chamfered edge around it (5.55 mm thick). The smaller plate is much thinner (1.87 mm thick) and also roughly triangular. It has a more uneven surface. At one side the plates appear to be joined and there are also two thin bars of lead joining the together at another. Where there is a gap between the plates there is a remnant of thin-walled pottery between them. This appears to have a reddish-brown, oxidised surface and a dark grey reduced core. It has a mixed temper of quartz sand and other stone. It is probably medieval. Dimensions: 43.05 mm x 29.31 mm x 8.63 mm Weight: 47.40 g

SOMDOR-11E3E1: CLOTH SEAL
Part of a cast lead cloth seal of probable post-medieval date. The surviving fragment is the first disc from a two disc cloth seal; the second disc and connecting strip are missing. The fragment measures 21.23mm in maximum diameter, 3.87mm in maximum thickness and weighs 5.52g. On the external face of the first disc there is a letter 'A' with an annulet above, below and on each side. On the rivet there is the central part of the full design, a pine cone, which was the heraldic badge of the city of Augsburg, Germany.

SOMDOR-2B5DE6: STEELYARD WEIGHT
A cast lead steelyard weight of probable Roman date. The weight is biconical (diameter 23mm, height 20.5mm) with a central shaft which contains a thin length of copper alloy. This would have been bent to form a hook at the apex, although the hook survives only to a length of about 10mm and is now bent out of shape. Weight: 46.93g

SOMDOR-29F941: PILGRIM BADGE
A cast lead pilgrim badge of medieval date. The badge measures 49.11mm in length, 25.15mm in width, its maximum thickness is 4.45mm and it weighs 6.12g. The front of the badge is moulded to represent the bust of St Thomas Becket, indicating that this was a product of his shrine at Canterbury, Kent. The archbishop wears a mitre which has a raised central vertical panel on which there is an off-centre line of raised dots. The rest of the mitre is filled with cross hatching. The top of the mitre has been bent backwards but it appears to have been topped with a cross. The face has well-defined brows and nose, a little hair on each side of the face, eyes consisting of pronounced raised circles within less well defined almond-shapes and a mouth formed from two short horizontal ridges. The robe has a large curving collar which is filled with parallel diagonal lines. Between the two ends of the collar there is a cross pattee-shaped motif which may represent a crucifix. The lower part of the brooch is rounded and just above this point there is a horizontal line of raised dots bounded above and below by a linear ridge, representing detail on the archbishop's clothing. The rest of the robe is cross-hatched. This badge has been cited by Lewis (2016, 279, note 21).

SOMDOR-F6E585: BULLA
About half of a cast lead papal bulla. The surviving part measures 38.2mm in diameter, 21.1mm in width, it is 4.2mm thick and weighs 28.5g. The obverse shows St Paul, with the inscription S'PA above. What is left of the reverse inscription, [---]E/[---]IV[-]/[---]IIII, suggests that the bull was issued under Pope Gregory IX (1227-41).

SOMDOR-6C7947: INSCRIBED OBJECT
A strip of lead sheet with an incised inscription on the front in a cursive script, probably in Medieval latin. There is no transcription or translation available at present. The rear is not inscribed or decorated. Date: Probably Medieval c. 1200 - 1500 Dimensions: 102.07 mm x 21.76 mm x 0.85 mm Weight: 13.54 g

SOMDOR-1E8401: TOKEN
Lead token or weight. Cast, circular disc with decoration of a pellet circle around a triangle containing a voided cross.
