Lead and possibly iron probable weight. Cast conical standing weight with nine vertical ribs on its sides. Ferrous corrosion may indicate either a lost suspension loop, or possibly an object embedded in the weight. The mass may relate this object to a Dublin Viking system of mensuration based on a module of 4.43gms, in which case it might represent 10 units. An alternative interpretation of such objects as playing pieces is also sometimes advanced. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 850-950. Diameter: 19.1mm, Height: 21.4mm, Weight: 43.57gms.

A Lead alloy flat weight which is octagonal in plan and rectangular in section (flat). It probably dates from the Late Medieval or Post Medieval period. Oe face is marked in the centre with an indistinct stamp, possibly 2 in Roman numerals (II) or even II 2/1. The weight has a mass of 2.2oz, so may have been intended as a two ounce or 2 and a half ounce weight. It has a well developed white patina. Compare WMID-79E7F6 and SWYOR-486C72.

Lead weight. Cast plano-convex or bun shaped weight with paired angled apertures, probably made by using a pair of nail shanks as formers when casting the object. These could enable use as a suspended or steelyard weight, while a trace of iron on the convex face may be the remains of an iron suspension loop. The paired apertures and the possible loop stub confer a somewhat zoomorphic appearance, resembling an otter's snout, which is probably misleading. The weight is close of five ounces in either the Roman or averdepois systems of measurement. Suggested date: Unknown, possibly Roman,…

A Medieval (probably 1200-1400) lead uniface trade weight, square in shape, and depicting a probable pelican displayed in her piety within a raised roundel 33mm in diameter and c.4mm high.
