A complete lead weight dating to the medieval to post medieval period (c.AD 1200-1700). The object is small and cylindrical in shape with a flat base and top and rounded sides. The object is undecorated and has a smooth dark cream patina. Dimensions: Diameter 6.73mm; height 13.98mm; weight 4.9g Weights found outside of secure archaeological contexts such as these are difficult to date because their use and style remains continuous from the Roman period onwards. Most examples likely date from the medieval period onwards. The mass does not fit within the usual weight systems.

Unidentified decorated object. The object has a rounded triangular head which is decorated, possibly depicting a skull. The back of this portion has two small circular depressions which could have been used in the mountint of the object. Below this, the object projects downwards from the bottom of the triangle and then forward at 90 degrees. The section projecting forward seems to have been snapped, but the patina suggests this is not a new break. The object is symmetrical, decorated on either side of the forward projection with a series of concentric circles.

A complete cast copper alloy leg, possibly from medieval or post-medieval cooking pot or cauldron. The leg has two moulded furrows running vertically down the front face. The reverse of the object is flat, and where the object may have joined on to the main vessel there is a third face which is concave to fit the face of the vessel. Cast coppor alloy vessels became popular from c. AD1100, and gradually passed out of use between 1700 and 1850, superseded by cast-iron pots and by saucepans designed for use on kitchen ranges.

A lead alloy weight probably of post-medieval date. The object is sub-spherical with a sub-oval perforation running through it. There is no visible decoration and the object has been damaged at each end. This type of weight has been in use for a long period of time and can have multiple functions or uses. Other weights of this shape have been suggested to be net or line weights from fishing. Modern line weights are similar but tend to have a smaller perforation. Dimensions: 19mm in height, 17mm in width, 22.10g.

A lead alloy weight or spindle whorl probably of post-medieval date. The object is circular in plan and cylindrical. In the centre of the object is a regular perforation with an internal diameter of 8mm of diameter. There is no visible decoration and it has been flattened on one side due to damage.
