a lead object, most probably a weight. It is triangular 29.6mm in length, 16.8mm wide and between 8.5 and 9.5mm in thickness. Taking the width as the base of the object, the upper terminal, 9.3mm wide, has an oval-shaped hollow a few mm deep at the top . The base is not quite flat so the object does not stand. It weighs 34.6g. Whilst it resembles the medieval 'standing' weights of the 12th to 13th centuries, its lack of flat base and upper terminal loop make this less likely.

a perforated lead weight. It is an oval shape and has a plano-convex section. The perforation is off-centre, with an angular rather than circular outline, and does not taper, as might be expected if it was used as a spindle whorl. The weight measures 28mm in length and 24.5mm in width. It is 6.85mm in thickness. It weighs 20g, and is likely to be of medieval date.

A cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is crudely cast, circular in plan and with bevelled edges giving the appearance of a flattened dome shape. The upper surface is coarse with uneven surfaces and many holes, and is decorated with a moulded raised cross. The back face is flat and contains several circular holes, probably the result of air in the metal during the casting process. It appears as though the lead has been poured into a mould and allowed to cool/harden, hence the uneven finish to the surface. This weight measures 68.09mm in diameter, 12.04mm in thickness, and wei…

A cast lead weight of uncertain date. It is a trapezium in shape, 35.15mm in length, and tapers in width from 21.75mm at one shorter side to 26.15mm at the other. There is a metal loop (not iron, and probably copper alloy) set into the shortest side. The weight is 12.04mm thick and weighs 101.43g. The existence of the loop suggests that this is probably a steelyard weight.
