Cast lead-alloy weight, probably a spindle whorl dating from the medieval period, that is c. AD1200-1500. The weight is circular, with a large perforation in the centre that held the spindle.

An incomplete copper alloy annular buckle frame or strap slide dating from the late medieval or early post-medieval period, that is c. AD1350-1650.
