A lead alloy object which is unidentified. The artifact is roughly cone shaped but with a rounded and faceted lower half and concave sides. The top is also rounded making the shape rather like a pear. The object has a diameter of 22.8mm and is 19.3mm thick. In the centre of the flat base is an irregular sub-triangular hole that extends about halfway into the centre of the object. The function of this object is unknown. It may be a weight and the hole could be to adjust the mass exactly. It could also have contained a copper alloy plug also for fine adjustment. Lead weights are very imp…

Lead weight. Cast bun-shaped weight, patinated overall. The mass might qualify this as representing ten underweight Viking-Age units of 4.43gms, as used for the weighing of silver bullion. However, it is also common for medieval shield-shaped weights from London. Suggested date: Unknown, Early Medieval to Medieval, 850-1350. Diameter: 24.5mm, Height: 10.9mm, Weight: 46.93gms.

Lead Possible Weight. An irregularly cast cube with two flat surfaces, both of which bear straight scratches which in one case converge approximately centrally to that surface. An alternative interpretation as a 'knuckle bone' for games might also be entertained, as the sides of the object are slightly waisted or constricted. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 40-1800. Height: 13.7mm, Width: 15.6mm, Thickness: 14.7mm, Weight: 23.7gms.

A cast lead alloy spherical weight or spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is sub-spherical with flattened ends where the large central perforation truncates the ball. The internal walls of the perforation are straight. The internal diameter of the perforation is 7.14mm. Other weights of this shape have been suggested to be net or line weights from fishing. Modern line weights are similar but tend to have a smaller perforation. The well developed patina suggests that the weight has some age, but it is not possible to suggest the period.

Cast lead weight dating from the Roman to the Post-Medieval period, (43-1700). The weight is conical shaped and is sub-circular in cross-section. The object has an irregular circular perforation through the centre of the weight. The outer surface of the object has been decorated with deep grooves. These are irregular and appear to have been 'gouged' out. The base of the object is uneven and the object does not sit flat. The weight may have been used as a loom weight; however other uses for this weight are also possible. It has a brownish grey patina and has been crudely made.
