A small discoidal cast lead object: probably a weight of post-medieval date. The base of the weight is slightly concave while the upper surface features a raised rim. Within the rim there appears to be moulded decoration within a low border. Unfortunately the detail is difficult to discern due to corrosion. It is probable that such a unifacially decorated object in lead would have acted as a small weight.

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.
