A probable lead alloy spindle whorl. It is bi-conical in shape but rounded. It is worn but discernible on both sides is a pattern of lines and dots. It has a grey patina, the central hole is either slightly mis-moulded with an inset line on both sides or alternatively has the remains of a concretion in it. The patination (or lack of) would suggest a later date although the hole diameter might suggest an early medieval date. Dimensions: It is 23mm in diameter, 10mm deep and the central hole is 8mm diameter and it weighs 23.00g

A lead alloy bi-conical spindle whorl. The design on one face consists of two concentric circles, one inside the inner edge and one at the outer edge, and from these run a number of lines parallel to the borders, inside each cell formed by these is a dot. The other side also has two borders at the inner and outer diameter and lines running parallel to these to form trapezoid cells but there are more of these, some of which may have dots or further lines in them. It is distorted, one side having been squashed or mis-moulded causing an uneven distribution of material. …

A cast lead alloy cat. It is a plump, contented cat in the seated position. The back of the model is quite crude although the features of the hip and leg are present, but the face is well moulded.

A probable scoop for cosmetic or toilet use. The material is uncertain but is probably lead alloy. It is formed of a short remnant of the shaft, which is triangular in section, the back being flat and the front having a ridge down the centre.
