A complete cast lead spindle whorl or weight of uncertain date. The object is plano-convex with a central perforation running through it and is undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-brown colour and is worn. The object is 8.7mm in diameter, 33.1mm thick and weighs 52.2g. Lead spindle whorls and weights were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty without supporting archaeological context. The function of such objects is also difficult to determine as the forms are common and may have served as spindle who…

An incomplete lead steelyard weight of uncertain date. The weight is bi-conical with traces of iron corrosion at the opposing points which may signify an iron core. The metal is a mid greyish-brown colour and is worn. The weight is 44.72mm long, 37.19mm in diameter and weighs 170g. Lead steelyard weights are difficult to date with any certainty and are known to have been in use from the Roman to post-medieval period. While the majority with iron cores seem to be dated to the Roman period, without a secure archaeological context it is not possible to definitively date such objects.

A complete lead-alloy trade weight of medieval to post-medieval date, c.AD 1380 - 1600. The weight is shield shaped with a raised moulded design featuring a large fleur-de-lis on the upper surface.

With a mass of 79g (2.8oz imperial) this was probably intended to be an 8oz weight in the avoirdupois system with 16oz in the pound. Lead weights have been used in trade since the Roman period and were used for weighing quantities…

An incomplete lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is broadly oval in plan with an irregular tapering circular section. A circular perforation of approximately 15.4mm depth and 5.7mm diameter is present to the wider end. The weight is undecorated. The metal has a worn and pitted patina.

This steelyard doesn't quite fit the known types of roman steelyards nor the typical encased medieval e…

A complete lead-alloy weight of medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1300 – 1700. The weight is circular with a rectangular section. It bears moulded decoration on the upper surface in the form of six inverted triangles radiating from a central pellet. The metal has a mid-grey/brown patina and is worn.

It could be a weight for use in measuring, or a counterbalance for use with pan balance weight scales. Ref: Egan, G. (1998) Th…
