A complete lead pendant weight of probable Medieval date (AD 1200-1550). The object has four roughly equal flattened tapering "sides" with "shoulders" at about half the length and a rounded pointed end. The upper end has a single oval perforation which forms the suspension loop. The metal is a grey/cream in colour with a slightly coarse patina. Weighs such as this have numerous potential uses including trade weights, net weight, balance weights and plumb bobs. Several functions, including plumb bobs and net sinkers, for such pendent weights have been suggested (Egan 199…

A Medieval to Post-Medieval copper alloy thimble, probably dating to c. AD 1400-1550. The thimble is domed, with sloping sides and hand-drilled circular pits arranged in a series of longitudinal lines along its sides and in a spiral on the top, leaving a small bald tonsure a the apex. Dimensions: height 20.8mm; diameter 20.7mm; weight 5.86g.

The slightly i…
