A flat and rectangular piece of lead which may be a weight. The object is 29.1mm long, 22.3mm wide and 3.7mm thick. It has a thick white patina which is chipped at the edges and it does not seem to be decorated or marked at all. It weighs 22.6g. Lead weighs are notoriously difficult to date and are very imperfectly understood currently.

A large bun shaped lead weight, with a circular, concave base. The weight is undecorated and it has not been perforated. There is a copper alloy loop extending out from the apex of the weight. A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to the lack of context this weight must remain undated. The weight appears to be complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.

There is a metal loop (not iron, and probably copper alloy) set into the shortest side. The weight is 12.04mm thick and weighs 101.43g. The existence of the loop suggests that this is probably a steelyard weight.

The object consists of two slightly flattened spheres which are joind by a short circular sectioned shaft. The spheres are slightly mis-aligned so the gap is larger on one side, this may be a deliberate functional attribute. The object is reminiscent of a pulley, but it is most probably a weight of some sort.

A cast lead weight of possible Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is rectangular in plan, trapezoidal in section and with faceted exterior edges on the top surface.

The lack of defined decorative motifs renders the dating of this object uncertain, although associated finds might indicate a Medeival to Post-Medieval periods.

Cast lead weight, oval in profile and circular in plan with a circular hole running most of the way through the lengh but blocked at the end. It probably held a rod with the weight acting as some type of counterweight. The surface is uneven. It is 32.2mm in diameter, 45.2mm tall and weighs 193 grams. The hole is 9.4mm in diameter. Cast lead weights were often made at home or locally for a wide range of uses, they are therefore hard to date precisely but most are Roman, Medieval or Post Medieval in date.
