A lead or tin-alloy object that appears to be a whistle and of probable post-Medieval date (c. 1600-c. 1800). The main body of the object is bottle shaped with a cylindrical neck and a short rounded body with an acorn shaped knop at the base. The upper cylindrical 'neck' is hollow inside and has a length of 17.9mm and an outer diameter of 14.9mm. On the inside of the object there is a solid 'floor' between the 'neck' and the 'flask' which gives the appearance that the 'flask' is solid. However, due to slight damage at the base, it is possible to confirm that it is hollow. At the rear,…

A complete lead-alloy weight dating from the medieval to Post Medieval periods (1100-1800AD). The object is circular in plan and has been pierced which shows some signs of wear from being suspended. The back of the object is smooth but the upper surface appears to be decorated with randomly placed pellets. Although it is possible that this is just a result of the casting. It is unlikely that this was used as a spindle whorl since the off-set piercing would cause the spindle to spin unevenly. It is more likely to be some form of hanging weight, or net weight. Diameter: 33.5mm; i…
