Lead possible weight, as kindly suggested by the finder. Cast plano-convex discoid weight with eight rays with shorter marks between them originating from a worn centre. Patinated overall. The mass may suggest this to have represented one half an averdepois ounce. The use of lead weights was progressively restricted from the 17th century onwards, though enforcement was very erratic. An alternative function as a game piece for a board game might be entertained; plano-convex pieces are known in various materials from the Roman period and later. Suggested date: possibly Post-Medieval, 150…

Lead weight. Cast cylindrical ring with shrinkage lines on one flat side suggesting it was cast in an open mould, with a central aperture of diameter 13.3mm. Opposed nicks on one side may be tying notches, which may hint at use of this object as a line weight. Though showing light traces of patina, the metal retains a grey tint which may point to a relatively recent date. Simple weights of this form continue to be used by sea anglers. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1900 Diameter: 29mm, Thickness: 9.3mm, Weight: 40.36gms

Lead possible weight, as kindly suggested by the finder. Cast conical object with a flat dimpled base perhaps suggesting it was cast in an open mould, and with a thin [1.2mm] low flange or rim projecting from its narrower end, which is truncated as an otherwise flat surface. Patinated. The mass does not immediately suggest correspondence with any particular system of measurement, and the object stands on its flat base at an eccentric angle perhaps unsuitable for use as a board game piece.

Lead weight. Cast discoid flat-sided weight; patinated. The mass might suggest this to have represented two [slightly underweight] Roman unciae, which would conform most closely to its current mass and condition. Other alternatives might equally be admitted: it could also have represented twelve [slightly overweight] Viking Age units of 4.43gms, as used for a bullion economy under Norse rule, or may have been used as an [underweight] late medieval or post-medieval two averdepois ounce weight.

Pale Limestone possible weight fragment, as kindly suggested by the finder. A small pebble with a deep [3mm] groove at one end, and a flattened area aligned with this. The groove may initially have served as a tying notch. Its continuation is truncated by another flat and smoothed surface. The stone is probably too soft to have served as a plough pebble, but some form of reuse as a rubber or polisher may have produced the flat surface as it now appears. The exploitation of erratic pebbles as sharpeners or rubbers is particularly common between later Prehistory and the end of the Early…

Lead weight. Cast pump seal weight. A discoid weight with bevelled edge, and with a lug on its underside to engage with an oiled leather seal. The bevelled edge is interrupted where the seal would pivot above a chamber of the pump. Hand operated water pumps were crucial to the land drainage of the 17th century, and thereafter to agriculture and other enterprises such as ironstone mining.
