An incomplete and flattened cast lead alloy possible toy dating from the Post-Medieval to the Modern period. The object is semi-circular in plan and before it was flattened together would have been hollow. The open end terminates with an irregular break which appear to be recent. At the rounded end are two incomplete circular projections which may be casting sprus or part of the object. Each face is decorated with moulded ring-and-dot motifs, two of which are visible on one face. Also decorating that face is a 'flower' motif created with a central pellet surrounded by a circle of pell…

Stone tool of uncertain date. The object is irregular in plan and oval in cross-section. The outer surface of the stone is very smooth with deliberate transverse scratches. It is likely that it was a natural stone which was used as a whetstone and is blackish brown in color.

Lead trapezium shaped weight. The surfaces are not smooth- probably due to corrosion and wear. All the edges and corners are rounded.
No typology has been made of weights so they are very difficult to date precisely. This is most likely to date to the Medieval or Post-Medieval periods.

Lead weight in the shape of an acorn. The weight appears complete but there is the remains of some iron corrosion at the wider end. Also at this end is a small hole. This could be the remains of an attachment.
These weights have not been put into a typology so they are very hard to date precisely. This one probably dats to the Medieval or Post-Medieval periods.

Circular lead alloy weight probably from the Medieval period.The front of the weight has a circular depression in the centre, in which is an 'I'. The depression is surrounded by 2 incised circles which look as though they have been cast in at the time of making the weight. The 'I' appears to have been added later, by hand.
The back of the weight is flat and has 2 lines scratched into it. It is likely these have been made through wear, or from the plough once the weight was in the ground. There are chips on the weight which are also likely to be plough damage.
No typology has been m…

Circular lead weight from the Post-Medieval period.
The weight is circular in plan and appears complete. It has a central sub-circular indentation on the top face and the surface is uneven. On the lower face there is a raised circle.
Lead weights are difficult to date precisely as similar forms were used for hundreds of years. As such this weight has been given a general date of post-medieval.

Circular lead weight which has the Roman numberals VIII inscribed in the top surface. In section the weight is domed. It is possible this is Roman due to the numerals but no typology has been made of weights from known contexts so it is difficult to assign a specific date.

Lead weight or spindle whorl. It is conical in shape but is not regular. There appears to be a hole all the way though although there is mud inside so this cannot be definite. On the base, around the hole is a ring slightly concave. This type of spindle whorl/weight with no decoration is very hard to date precisely as the same form was used for many centuries. This is most likely to be late Medieval/Post-medieval in date.

A complete cast lead or lead alloy weight, of probable Late Medieval to Post Medieval dating (1300 to 1800 AD).
The weight is cylindrial in plan, and sub circular in cross section. It has been formed from rolling up a small sheet of lead. The seam is present running along the length of the weight.
It is a light to mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, probably caused by movement in the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of a significant proportion of the original surface.
It measures 35.94mm long, is 16.15mm wide and 14.13mm thick. The sheet of lead alloy is…

A complete cast lead or lead alloy pyramid standing weight, of probable Medieval dating (14th to Mid 16th Centuries AD).
The weight is sub circular in plan, and sub triangular in profile. The width of the weight increases from the base (maximum) to the top (minimum width). The top of the weight has been deliberately flattened, and a suspension / hanging hole of irregular shape has been placed. The hole has been located off centre and has been incompletely perforated
