A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy object of uncertain date, possibly a weight. It is broadly circular in plan, narrowing in diameter to the top which features a penannular moulding, a ring either abraded or mis-cast (c. 28.6mm). It therefore has a broadly trapezodal cross-section. It stands on the flat base, but can also stand on the ring. The object has corroded to a variable yellow-brown colour.

A complete cast lead or lead alloy weight, of probable Late Medieval to Post Medieval dating (1300 to 1800 AD). The weight is cylindrial in plan, and sub circular in cross section. It has been formed from rolling up a small sheet of lead. The seam is present running along the length of the weight. It is a light to mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, probably caused by movement in the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of a significant proportion of the original surface. It measures 35.94mm long, is 16.15mm wide and 14.13mm thick. The sheet of lead alloy is…

Lead Weight. Rectangular cast weight with a crude shield-shaped sunken area on its ?upper surface. The weight possibly represents one averdepois pound. A round hole of diameter 4.4mm may be to facilitate suspension, or perhaps another purpose, as for example in weighting fishing gear. Suggested date: Medieval to Post-Medieval, 1300-1600. Length: 71.3mm, Width: 61.3mm, Thickness: 14.3mm, Weight: 425gms.

: Copper alloy Weight. One of a set of nesting weights, this representing one quarter of an averdepois pound. Cast cylindrical weight with dimpled base and a prominent rim on its upper side. Original notation comprises the stamped numeral 4. There is then a series of inspectors' counterstamps, which include the stamped legends: L_L/ No. 3; V[crown]R/528; L [plume of feathers]L/138; and L[plume of feathers]L/indistinct number; and possibly a half arrow with undeciphered numerals within it. Suggested date: Modern, 1800-1900. Diameter: 45mm, Height (rim): 12.1mm, Weight: 108.44gms.

Copper alloy Weight, one of a nesting set, representing one averdepois ounce. Cast discoid weight with basal dimple and prominent rim around its upper side. A stamped crowned VR attests the inspection of this weight. The Weights and Measures Act of 1875 established formal procedures for the verification of weights, so a date between 1875 and 1901 may be apt. Suggested date: Modern, 1875-1900. Diameter: 31.3mm, Height: 6.3mm, Weight: 27.25gms.

A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is cylindrical with a flat top and base. A small indentation is present near the centre of one end. The metal is a mid grayish-brown colour and is worn and pitted. The weight is 425g. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely. Cast lead weights are difficult to date with any certainty and are known to have been in use from the Roman to post-medieval period.

A complete cast lead steelyard weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical with a rounded base and top. A slightly off central hole is present running the length of the weight and iron corrosion is present at the top. Within the hole from the base, the remains of an iron suspension pin can be seen. The metal is a mid grayish-brown colour and is worn. The weight is 100g. Lead steelyard weights are difficult to date with any certainty and are known to have been in use from the Roman to post-medieval period. However, the classic Roman steelyard weight is bi-conical making a slightl…

A complete cast lead or lead alloy pyramid standing weight, of probable Medieval dating (14th to Mid 16th Centuries AD). The weight is sub circular in plan, and sub triangular in profile. The width of the weight increases from the base (maximum) to the top (minimum width). The top of the weight has been deliberately flattened, and a suspension / hanging hole of irregular shape has been placed. The hole has been located off centre and has been incompletely perforated The base of the weight is sub circular in plan, with facetted sides. The surface of the weight is rough and und…

Lead Possible Weight. An irregularly cast cube with two flat surfaces, both of which bear straight scratches which in one case converge approximately centrally to that surface. An alternative interpretation as a 'knuckle bone' for games might also be entertained, as the sides of the object are slightly waisted or constricted. Patinated overall. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Post-Medieval, 40-1800. Height: 13.7mm, Width: 15.6mm, Thickness: 14.7mm, Weight: 23.7gms.

Cast lead or lead alloy weight (or possibly a very thick token) of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1350 - 1650). The weight is circular in plan and D shaped in cross section. The edges around the front face are faceted; the design on the front consists of high relief cast ribs and pellets. These forms the initial I b or possibly 91 depending on direction of orientation. The lines are all pellet terminalled and there are two pellets in the field, one below the 9 (or above the b) and one after the 1 (or before the I). The reverse face is plain and undecorated. The weight i…

This record consists of two objects found in relatively close proximity to one another on the same field. A pair of Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy discs. Both sides of the objects are un-decorated without any visible method of attachment or suspension. The lack of diagnostic features makes it difficult to be definitive about both purpose and date but they could possibly be pan weights. One of the objects has a small wedge of metal missing from the outside edge that represents about 10% of the flan. Weight on left - 34.45mm dia, 6.91mm thick, weight 60.18g Weight on right -…

A cast lead weight of uncertain date. It is conical in form with flattened base that has a central circular aperture that does not pierce the entire object. The exterior surfaces of the weight are crudely finished with multiple triangular or rectangular punch marks. It measures 16.14mm in height, 17.19mm in diameter at base, and weighs 19.96g. This is a cast lead weight that could date to any point from the Roman period onwards.

Copper alloy possible weight: Irregularly cast cube, slightly tapered, with chamfered arises on its long sides; at its broader end is a large feature resembling a ring and dot, but standing in relief rather than being incised; another, less well-defined, feature stands proud at the other end. The relief at its ends prevent the object standing on either, and probably rule out a function as a playing piece. The mass might suggest this to have represented two Viking Age units of 4.43gms, as used for silver bullion transactions. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-1050. Height/Length…
