Lead spindle whorl. Cast whorl of plano-convex form with a central moulded aperture of diameter 10.2mm, Walton Rogers form A1. Shrinkage lines in the upper surface as cast suggest the object was made in an open mould. Patinated, and distorted by subsequent impact. The ample hole may point to an Anglo-Scandinavian date while the mass suggests a primary function plying cord. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1000.

Lead spindle whorl. Cast globular or biconvex whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 10.8mm. Moulded decoration appears in the form of ill-defined pellets which are restricted to the vicinity of the hole on one side only, possibly detail softened by casting this object in a mould formed around a similar object as a copy. Lightly patinated. Whorls of globular form appear from the 13th century, though lead examples are rare, and the form here may anticipate that of early post-medieval biconical whorls on which pelleted decoration is common. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1500…

Lead spindle whorl. Cast biconicalx whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 10.8mm. A moulded design in high relief appears on both sides. One is dominated by straight and curved radial lines which intermittently cross each other to produce a series of trapezoid compartments. The other side bears a more pronounced right hand spiral motif on one side and compartmented cells on the other. Both sides have a prominent rim around the central hole, and a medial circumferential rib where the two halves meet. The mass might permit a primary function spinning a yarn. Patinated. Sugge…

Lead shot. Cast ball with distorting damage from a penetrating impact into a material such as stony clay. The mass, at just under an ounce, may suggest this to have been for use with a light musket, or with a pistol or carbine of military specification. The metal retains a grey tint, so this might have been recently disturbed from a sealed environment. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Diameter: 17.0mm, Weight: 26.30gms

Lead weight. Cast weight in the form of a heart ith flat vertical sides all around. Lightly patinated. The mass may suggest this to have represented one averdepois pound. The heart shape was favoured for various decorative mounts of the early post-medieval period, while, at least for commercial use, this object should pre-date the formal prohibition of lead weights in or before the 19th century.

Lead possible metalworking debris. A small fragment of lead melt which appears to have congealed on a flat surface with three or four small [diameter c.2m] holes around a larger [diameter c.10mm] hole, with the lead marking the positions of holes it has flowed into and preserving them as features in relief. The regularity of the arrangement of these putative imprints may suggest a relatively recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1900.
