Cast copper alloy possible 'hawking' whistle, hollow and cylindrical but waisted in plan and circular in section. At the closed end there is a circular suspension loop 4.91mm diameter surrounded with possible decoration to the body, but this is obscured by indentations obtained whilst in the ground. Below the waisted section the body flares out trumpet shaped to an abrupt indentation, following which the object is dented and damaged with no further possible definition to what was possibly the mouthpiece end. The object has a casting line from the base of the suspension loop all aroun…

Lead weight. Cast weight approaching a rhomboid form, of plano-convex section, with a central moulded hole of diameter 4.6mm. The convex surface is rough or textured. Patinated. The mass does not closely correspond to units observing any particular system, while the form is also unusual. There are no marks to indicate the intended function of the hole, which is a little small to admit a spindle. Suggested date: unknown, Roman to Medieval, 43-1500. Length: 25.7mm, Width: 21.4mm, Height/Thickness: 13.3mm, Weight: 31.16gms

Lead weight. A sub-rhomboid scrap of thin cast sheet with cut edges, and with a pierced hole of diameter 2mm at its narrower end. Patinated. Possibly to weight a fishing line; the gently bent form here could, if it were original, impart a spinning motion permitting use as a lure. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500.

Lead alloy weight probably a spindle whorl Medieval to Post-medieval dating 1200 - 1600AD. The object is circular in plan and slightly conical. In the centre of the object the perforation has an internal diameter of 9mm. It appears to be undecorated. The object has a light grey patina. The diameter is 18mm and the weight 24.63g. Spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are typically dated broadly to the medieval period c.1100-1500.

Lead alloy, cast, probable net weights or net sinkers of probably Post-medieval date 1700 - 1900AD. They are oval in plan, an elongated hexagon in section and has a circular hole running through their length. The casting seams along the sides have been trimmed. The metal has a smooth yellow patina. They were probably used as fishing weights or more likely net weights for catching game. Compare KENT-ADB2C7 which cites Detector Finds 2, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1993, page 29-34 No. 58, and more crude examples such as SWYOR-4AC3F1. 1.
