A copper alloy modern stacking weight, likely dating AD 1800-1950. The weight is circular in plan and rectangular in cross section, with a raised rim on the upper face. The upper face is worn, but there is an initial 'Z' on the surface, potentially making it more modern. On the reverse is a central depression, but there are no signs of knop having been there. There are raised lines that are roughly equidistant running oblique across the reverse, but these could be due to post-depositional wear and tear. The upper face has a diameter of 19.15mm around the edge of the raised rim wh…

A lead alloy probable weight of Modern date, about AD 1927-1936. The object is circular in plan and on the front has a raised rim around the full circumference. The reverse side is plain and flat.
