Medieval weight; Cast lead weight of bell shape: The weight is essentially a circular cone, although it flares out towards the bottom and is flattened at the top. It has a curved suspension loop at the top, formed from a strap of lead, and is pierced in the centre of the base. The weight looks to have been reshaped after casting, although this is difficult to determine as it is also somewhat pitted and gouged across its surface. The lead has a white patina, of varying thickness. Height 41.3mm, width (“diameter”) 33.4mm, weight 185.3g Lead weights are difficult to date due the…

Lead alloy (with some copper/bronze) weight or perhaps a gaming piece. It is circular in plan and has a rounded top. The decoration has been moulded and is on the upper (rounded) face only. The decoration is in the form of a stylised sun with rays emanating from a central circle. The bottom of the weight is smooth. Weights like this can date from the Iron Age period onwards and are very hard to date precisely. This weight probably dates to the Medieval period.

One of two cast lead-alloy weights, each found in a different field on opposite sides of a narrow road. Although one is slightly more worn than the other, they both carry the same very distinct and unsual decoration; they were cast using the same mould. The weight is if double-conical shape with a broadened rim and central perforation (ca 8mm in diameter). While one side is decorated with a simple zigzag line, the other displays at least four different symbols: a heart-shaped symbol, a box/parcel-shaped symbol, a (very faint) eye-shaped symbol, a horned symbol and a symbol resembling a…

A cast lead weight. The weight is conical in shape and is unperforated. It is worn with a mid brownish-grey patina. A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to a lack of context this example must remain undated.

Lead weight dating to the Roman or Medieval period. The weight is cuboid in shape with an integral suspension loop on the upper surface. Vertical ribs run down three of the long faces, roughly in the centre. The other face is damaged but appears to have also had this decoration, though slightly more off-centre.

A complete cast lead weight, probably dating to the Roman period, between AD 43 – 410 (diameter: 31mm; thickness/ depth: 16mm; weight: 113.5g). This weight is circular in plan and flat in section. The Roman numerals ‘III’ are incised into the upper face of the artefact, although there is a long scratch or possible incision to one side, which gives the appearance of an additional ‘I’. There are no other markings on this artefact. The base/ underside of the weight is slightly recessed in the centre. Overall, the artefact is in a slightly worn and fair condition with a ligh…

A number of Roman-postmedieval lead weights. Such weights are often difficult to date without context. Weight no. 1 (top left in figure) is of biconical form, with the remains of an iron rod in the centre. It measures 37.9mm in diameter, 26.5mm in height, and 122g in mass. It probably dates to the Roman period. Weight no. 2 (top right) is the largest of the group, and is of conical form. It measures 49.4mm in diameter, 40.8mm in height, and 325g in mass. It dates to the Roman period. Weight no. 3 (bottom left) is of elongated conical form, with an 11.7mm long iron pin proje…

It is square with concave sides in section and tapers at both ends. One end extends into a simple oval suspension loop. The weight is deeply patinated and is a creamy white colour. Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as often as possible, a large body of data that can be studied will be built up.

A large weight made of lead. The weight is tear-drop shaped, but the reverse is completely 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.

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1350 - 1700). The weight is sub-circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The sides are irregular and taper slightly from the base. The weight is undecorated, although there are a number of scratches present on all surfaces. These are most likely to have been caused by movement in the ploughsoil. The weight is a mid grey colour with a relatively even patina that covers all surfaces. It is possible that the weight may have been burnt at one point. A direct parallel for this weight has not been found. …

Lead alloy weight of late medieval or early post medieval date. These weights are widely known as 'spindle whorls' and have been found in archaeological contexts of the late medieval period, but it possible that they had a much wider use, such as as netsinkers or weights for traps. This example is of roughly double conical shape with moulded decoration on both surfaces. It is unusual, however, that the outer rim is decorated with a 'moulded rope' ornament. Furthermore, it is unusual to find only one aspect of wear: in this case, only one quarter of the inner circle appears to be worn h…

A cast lead weight biconical in shape, with a central hemisphere. The remains of an iron spike extend through the centre. The iron spike could once have formed part of a handle or loop; it is badly rusted. The weight is undecorated, but appears to be well worn. The weight is complete, apart form the iron spike that appears to have been broken. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour. Due to a lack of excavated examples and context this weight must remain undated.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: East Sussex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small, shallow domed lead weight, with a circular base. There is a perforation running through the centre of the weight. The weight is undecorated but the weight has a very rough surface, suggesting that it has been crudely made. A typology of lead weights has not yet been developed, so these weighs are not yet completely understood. Due to a lack of excavated examples and a lack of context this weight must remain undated. The weight appears to be complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.
