A complete cast lead-alloy weight of probable Post-Medieval date, c. 1500-1800. It is circular in plan, with a moulded design on its upper surface consisting a large raised pellet-in-ring motif. Preserved in fair condition with an even whitish patina, it measures 28.46mm in diameter, 5.79mm thick, and weighs 27.06g. Weights of this form were probably home-made and widely used for a variety of different functions. Most are Post-Medieval, though some may be slightly earlier.

Medieval to post medieval fragment of a handle from a vessel, probably a cauldron, dating to the period c. AD 1100 - 1850. At one end the object is irregular in section and comprises a small part of the vessel wall from which the handle projects. The handle tapers along its length, terminating in a worn break. It exhibits four longitudinal casting seams. According to Butler, Green and Payne (2009), "From about AD 1100, cast copper alloy vessels...were commonly used for downhearth cooking, with the vessel sitting among the embers or suspended over the fire.

An almost complete small fine ware vessel. Appearance seems to be a well-made vessel with a red slip coating on the outside with occasional inclusions of mica which is probably of Roman date. The rim of the object curves outwards and is chipped and worn in one place. Circumferential grooves from the wheel (wheel marks) are visible on the internal face of the vessel and on the vessel base which is uneven due to wear. The vessel is mid-orange in color and is in good condition. The rim, body and part of the base of the vessel is worn however overall there is not much wear.

An incomplete rim sherd of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel, dating from the Roman period likely from around the 2nd Century. The rim is curved in form and profile and has been water worn. The remains of a lug or handle just below the rim suggests it was belonging to a flanged dish or bowl. The object is well fired and has a bright orange fabric on each face and internally. The fragment is possibly Cheshire Plain wear fabric, which is quartz rich but is more micacous than is typical. The object is very weathered.

Incomplete section of Cast copper alloy leg and foot from a Medieval cooking vessel or cauldron. The foot is flat and roughly ovoid, (but broken around outer edge) and is 40mm long by 23mm wide. The leg, which is79mm long by 31mm wide, flares where it meets the base, and then extends at about a 45 % angle and is fluted on the exterior face and convex on the inner side. It ends in an irregular break which appears historic. It is mainly pinky orange in colour with patches of yellow, while the ribs of the fluting have a dark green to black patina, although the inside bottom of the leg is…

Copper alloy unidentified object. Cast object with a tapered rectangular section shank divided by an oval-ended plate at right angles to it. Above the plate [as illustrated] the shank is square and lightly waisted, as if to ensure a snug fit with a separate rebated or holed component. Below the cross-piece, the shank is narrower and more rounded, with a U-shaped end. The surface condition indicates an object of some age, while the characteristics rehearsed above may point to a mechanical - though not necessarily motorised - function. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1850. Height…

An unidentified copper-alloy object, possibly Roman and also possibly part of a fastening or fitting. The object is a long curvilinear cylinder, near-ovoid in cross-section, one end of which is clearly an old break and the other is possibly a zoomorphic head.

An unidentified piece of cast copper-alloy decoration, probably Iron Age or Roman. The entire piece is composed of swirling curvilinear shapes that are convex on the upper side and concave below. There are three main lobes it can be separated into; a 'j' shaped upper curve, and an 'r' shaped middle section whichconnects this to the final section which is a single loop circular spiral. A thin strip connects the 'j' to the spiral on the outer side. The piece is similar to NMS-E567C8 and LVPL172 in morphology, but appears more complete than either.
