Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is sub-cylindrical being oval in plan and cross section; it is D shaped in profile. A single cast hole extends through the middle of the weight and is filled with a white coloured lead alloy corrosion product; it is likely that this was used to suspend the weight and aided safe-keeping and storage. The underside of the weight has an irregular recess within and the surface is uneven. The weight is undecorated although the external surface is covered in knife marks and cuts. It is a mid-grey colour with a…

A cast post medieval, copper alloy, foot from a small vessel. The main part of the piece depicts a lion's head, below which is a short section of leg terminating in a clawed foot. The back is undecorated and concaved behind the mask. The leg is nearly round in cross-section, with a tendon running down the back. The foot sits at right angles to the rest of the piece. There is a small patch of iron corrosion on one side of the lion's head, visible on both the front and back, which inidcates that an iron rivet pierces the object.
