An incomplete cast lead-alloy weight, probably home-made/unofficial, dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1800. The reverse is plain and shows that the weight was roughly cast whilst the obverse displays lettering withing two concentric circles. It is mirror-writing and it is not possible to make out the writing in the outer circle. However, the central writing reads '[1/2]lb'. It is very similar to two lead weights recorded under LANCUM-1440E4 and LANCUM-0FA5A3. The artefact is incomplete due to old breaks. Dimensions: Diameter: 36.05mm, thickness: 3…

County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified object which is probably modern and made of a light white metal, probably aluminium. It is square in section, bent into a loop, and has nicks across the corners. This object was found on a site which has produced a lot of Early Medieval finds, and was originally mistaken for Viking hack silver, but the material is clearly not silver. It therefore does not fall under the 1996 Treasure Act.

Three iron rings of probably Post-Medieval to Modern date, with a combined total weight of 16.39g.

An intaglio of probably Modern date. It is made from pale green glass and is oval in shape, with an inscribed device. It is uncertain what the device is intended to depict.
