Object type: THIMBLE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete possible lead alloy palm guard. It has probably been approximately circular, although much of the edge of one quarter and some of the opposite side is missing. It is very slightly domed in the centre, and in this are some marks possibly from use as a palm guard. It has a light brown colour with some sheen, except the damaged areas which are the grey of lead alloy. It is possible that this is a token rather than an unusual palm guard but there is not enough evidence to conclude. Dimensions: Diameter is 39mm maximum and 33mm where damaged, it weighs 23.90g

A small, globular lead alloy piece, probably a weight although it could also be a gaming piece. It is flat on the bottom and the top is a shallow dome. It has a shiny, dark grey colour, except where it is damaged at the edge, when it is light brown. Similar domed weighs are known from the Viking camp site at Torksey, Lincolnshire, and it is possible that this is a similar object.

At the opposite end the pommel narrows, then widens to a circular collar. In the bottom of this is a square hole for attachment to the sword or dagger. The pommel has moulded raised decoration, one one side there appears to be a figure kneeling, perhaps working or wielding a sword. On …

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy weight, probably a net weight. It has been formed by rolling a flat piece of lead alloy, possibly around a narrow diameter former, and the edge of the flap of the material can thus be seen along one side of the narrow weight. It is cylindrical in shape but wider at one end because it has been squashed. It has an even, mid brown patina.Such weights were used over a long period of time and are difficult to date. For example, LANCUM-4FF9DB is dated to the Roman period, NARC-2DF5D1 is attributed to the medieval to post medieval…

A fragment of lead alloy bar with a circular cross section. The base is flat and very slighty concave, possibly as a result of casting as opposed to design, and the edges are rounded. Near the other end a collar cast into the piece, and beyond this the bar may have been cut twice, forming a slightly triangular 'end'. This may have been for assay in some way, alternatively it could have been used as a gaming piece and the shape is to distinguish it.  It has been found in association with other lead pieces and may be part of a collection which it was inte…
