A complete circular biconical cast lead-alloy weight, possibly a spindle whorl dating from the later medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. AD1200-1600. The lead weight is flat biconical in cross-section with a rounded base and top. It is decorated with an erratic criss-cross pattern on both sides. The edges on both sides are decorated with large circular pellets giving the rim a bulgy look. This, however, may have improved the spinning motion of the spindle whorl, similar to modern spinning tops which have a thickened or bulging edge. Lead weights like these are common finds…

Cast lead-alloy weight, probably a Roman or medieval steelyard weight dating from c. 1st-16th century AD. The weight is made from lead-alloy and is onion-shaped with no further marks on the surface. There are remains of an iron hook at the top which is now corroded away and missing. Steelyards weights such as this were in common use in agricultural areas, but they were not official weights seeing that they were not marked in any way. Official weights would be clearly marked with an indication of the weight and the assayer's mark.
