A complete hexagonal cast lead standing weight of medieval to post-medieval date (about AD1350-1800). It is of truncated piriform shape with a projecting knop or handle at its apex, which has a transverse pierced hole. The weight has an unmarked concave base. At 178.4g it may be comparable with half a Troy pound, which would date it from the mid-fourteenth century onwards (see Egan, 1998, p.302). The weight has a height of 34.3mm and a diameter of 32.3mm. As highlighted above, it weighs 178.4g. See Biggs and Withers (2000), pp. 32-33, for similar (although not hexagonal) examples.

Lead weight of Medieval or Post Medieval date, roughly disc shaped with angled sides, both the sides and bottom of the disc are irregular showing that it was cast against a rough surface. The top is smooth and bears a cross, incised after casting. The crude and simple form of this object makes it impossible to suggest a date and stylistic grounds and It has not been possible to match the mass of this object with any recorded system of weights. A similar weight found in the same area as this object weighs 80.08g which bears no relationship to the module of this find. Length 31.2mm, Wid…

A possible small lead weight of probable Post Medieval to Modern date. The object is a short cylinder of lead with slightly angled sides. The top is uneven and the base has two deep circular holes in, perhaps where a wire loop or two pieces of wire were anchored. The object has a grey colour and little patina. It is 14.7mm in diameter, 8.3mm thick and weighs 11.05g. This is likely to have been a weight with a function other than as a standard unit of mass. It could also be a more modern seal or electrical terminal anchor point etc.

There is also a semi-circular depression cutting across the design, which may be a casting flaw. The underside has a small, off-centre, conical depression, and two small straight grooves. The weight has a dark cream patina. It is 35.1mm in diam…
