A complete cast lead weight of unknown date. The weight is circular in plan with a flat top and base. There are no marks or decoration present on any surface and its shape suggests it was used as a measure. The metal is a light whitish-brown colour and is worn. It weighs 32.9g. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and may date from the Roman to post-medieval period.

Probable lead weight. Standing crudely formed egg-shaped lead object with a flattened base. There is a narrow hole pierced from tip through to base. There are a series of lines, marks and a large X incised on the surface, but it is difficult to determine which marks, if any, were intentional. The piercing may have been to fit a loop for suspention in steelyard weight fashion, or may have been to attach the object to a line. Difficult to date; may be Medieval, Post Medieval or Modern. Weight is over 60g.

Double-conical lead weight with central vertical perforation, 8.8mm wide. The weight is decorated in high-relief on both sides with a zig-zag line, with a pellet in each angle. This kind of lead weight is a very frequent metal-detecting find, especially on ploughed and pasture land. There is some archaeological evidence for these lead weights to have been used as spindle whorls in the 16th/17th century (pers. comm. Dr Kevin Leahy), but has been suggested that they could also have been used as net sinkers, fishing weights or weight for traps at a somewhat later date.

A small weight made of lead. The weight is triangular, with rounded corners, and it is flat. The weight is undecorated. The lead has gone a light greyish-white colour. Some damage has occurred to the weight as a result of being hit by the plough, as several scratches and scars are evident on the surface of the weight. This weight is possibly medieval, but most probably post-medieval in date. Due to that fact that so few lead weights have been found in archaeological contexts, only a very broad date range can be allocated.
