Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Worcestershire
Workflow stage: Published
The whetstone is made of a fine silt stone, possibly from the Welsh borders. In plan the whetstone is an elongated trapezoidal shape. The two long side edges are not quite parallel. The wide lower edge is slightly rounded and abraded, but maybe the original edge. The opposite edge is a broken edge. The upper surface of the stone is smooth and the edges rounded, and tapers in depth towards the lower edge. The reverse is a flat face, but is not a smooth as the other face.

A complete lead alloy weight, probably from a net or line of unknown dating, probably Medieval to Modern in dating (AD 1200 - AD 1900). The weight is sub-cylindrical, with a central swelling. A single circular shaped hole is set off centre with an internal diameter of 5.9 mm. It measures 17.7 mm in length and has a diameter of 17.1 mm. It weighs 25.7 g (0.91 oz). It is a dark grey colour, with an uneven patina across the surface. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface. Several similar weigh…

A lead alloy probable weight of uncertain dating, possibly dating from the Roman period to modern day, circa AD 43-1800. The object is circular in plan and is in the form of a flat disc. One face has a central now broken iron protrusion, presumably the remains of an iron wire loop for suspension. The reverse is flat and has an area of iron staining at its centre. The object has a well developed cream coloured patina across all surfaces. Weights like these are known from the Roman period onwards therefore it is difficult to date th eobject more precisely. There are other pa…

An incomplete lead weight on uncertain exact date (c. AD 43-1700). The object is disc-shaped with a small central perforation measuring 3.55mm in diameter. The weight has an uneven surface with a number of deep scratches and pits across much of the surface. The object has a mid-grey patina. Plain lead weights were in use from the Roman period to the present day, therefore without any contextual information it is difficult to apply an exact date. Comparable examples recorded on the PAS database include: YORYM-B67CB7; SUSS-B4E4F4; SUSS-0C7CA7; and PUBLIC-138ECD. The overall d…

A lead alloy weight or possibly a gaming piece of probable Medieval or Post Medieval date circa AD 1400-1800. The object is sub-circular in plan. The upper face is convex, plain and undecorated. It has a slight triangular depression in the centre. The reverse outer edges are flat so the object can stand with a large central concave impression. At the centre is a smaller circular indentation. It could be the start of a drilled hole that was not completed. The object has a mid-cream colour with an uneven corroded and abraded patina that covers all surfaces. The object measure…
