Large lead weight probably dating to the Post-Medieval period, (1500-1800). The object is conical in plan. The base is at an angle and the weight therefore tilts to one side. The top of the object is rounded and is circular in cross-section. The object is decorated with linear ridges which start just below the top of the object and finish above the base. The object has been crudely made and has been damaged whilst in the plough soil. It has a greyish white patina.

Cast lead Post Medieval weight. The object is sub-triangular in plan with the narrowed end being the top which has a circular perforation used for attachment. It has a rectangular cross-section throughout. The surface is uneven. Regular diagonal grooves have been cut into one face and both edges of the object. The opposite face has more irregular scratches or grooves. This sort of weight could have been used for many purposes for many periods and so is difficult to date precisely when found out of context. A similar example which can be found on the database is LVPL-AD20B5.

Due to its outer lozenge shape the object would not have functioned particularly well as a spindle whorl and therefore a line weight may be more likely.

An lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is circular in plan and is D-shaped in cross-section. The flat face is rough and uneven with no visible pitting. Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Post-Medieval date is likely. The object may have functioned as a palm guard however there are no diagnostic features. Palm guards were for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.
