Lead probable weight. Cast waisted weight, resembling an exaggerated cotton reel form. This may have facilitated tied attachment, or movement along a guide or channel. Comparable weights accompany groups of Roman finds from Newbald Lodge, East Yorkshire, in the Foster Collection of metal detector finds held at the Hull and East Riding Museum. However, their function remains uncertain, and it is equally uncertain whether they form part of the Roman assemblage, or may derive from later activity centred on the 19th-century farm. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410

An incomplete cast lead alloy Roman steelyard weight. The slightly misshapen bi-conical weight has the remains of an iron suspension loop at the top and an iron shaft protruding from the base. The iron shaft is oval in section and has a length of 10.9mm, a width of 8.8mm and a thickness of 5.9mm. The surviving length of the weight is 41.0mm, the maximum diameter is 19.8mm and the weight is 45.95g.

Lead weight. Cast object of waisted bobbin or cotton reel form, with two oval ends of length/diameter 30mm and 28.5mm with a constriction to a diameter of c.20mm between them. Heavily patinated and pitted by corrosion. The bobbin form and the slight inequality in the sizes of the ends are both features of a class of objects considered of possibly Roman date on account of their appearance along with Roman material reported from Newbald Lodge, East Riding of Yorkshire. Similar objects are known from Lincolnshire, with several recently reported. The constriction may have permitted tied a…

Lead weight. Cast weight of cotton reel or bobbin form, with the two ends of slightly unequal size: with diameters of circa 35mm and 34mm with a constriction to diameter 25mm between them. The form may be intended to permit a tied fastening in the waist of the object, or may facilitate a function requiring the weight to move, possibly in a channel like a sash weight. Objects of this form were reported along with predominantly Roman period material from Newbald Lodge, East Riding of Yorkshire, and further examples are occasionally reported.

The young man crouches with knees flexed as he thrusts a long rod with a slightly swollen mid part into the rear of the other figure, who is bent over with flexed knee to receive it in the hindquarters; the latter participant may be looking back towards its companion, perhaps contributing to a pointed appearance of the head.

A similar circle is stamped on the opposite flat face. Here it is accompanied by, and apparently cuts and hence post-dates, a series of four straight incised lines. Patinated overall.

Copper alloy probable weight. Solid cast ovoid object, tapering to a point at one end and broken, possibly close to a slight expansion or perforation, at the other.
