A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is large and spherical with a deep circumferential groove running around it, possibly to aid suspension. The entire surface is pitted which appears to be a purposeful form of decoration. The metal is a mid yellowish-grey colour and is worn. The weight is 39.3mm in diameter and weighs 322g. While the exact function of this object cannot be securely determined and the decorative nature is unusual the groove suggests that it was used as some form of suspension weight.

A complete cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. The spindle whorl is plano-convex with a flat base and domed top and a central perforation running through it. Both faces are undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-brown colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 27.8mm in diameter, 7.3mm thick and weighs 28.9g. Lead spindle whorls were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty. Decorated examples are thought to date to the medieval to post-medieval periods while undecorated examples cannot be securely dated w…

A cast lead alloy object, possibly a disc brooch. The piece is a flat disc. On the rear are a 2 cruched fittings, one possibly a pin hinge (or suspension loop?) at the edge, and a central lug that may have been a catchplate. Continuing along the line of these 2 there is also a circular perforation towards the far edge from the possible hinge. The front face is decorated with the inscription REX across it between 2 raised borders.

County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead weight or spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is plano-convex with a flat base and domed top. A central perforation runs through the object and all surfaces appear undecorated. The metal has a light white/grey patina and is worn. The object is 24.9mm diameter, 9.6mm thick and weighs 30.2g. The perforation is 7mm in diameter. Walton Rogers (1997, p.1731) suggests Roman spindle whorls have a diameter of between 4-8mm while the diameter of Early-Medieval to medieval spindles is in the range of 9-11mm to fit the thicker spindles of this period.

A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is conical in plan with a circular base from which the sides taper upwards to form the apex. A central circular perforation is present running through the weight which is also undecorated. The metal is a mid brownish-white colour and is worn. The weigh is 12.8mm tall, 16.4mm in diameter and weighs 14.6g. Simple lead weights such as this were commonly used from the Roman period through to the post-medieval period and served a number of functions. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not poss…

A complete lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is a crude circular ring with narrow ovate section and is undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-white colour and is slightly worn. The weight is 35.6mm x 31.9mm in diameter, 6.2mm wide, 4.1mm thick and weighs 14.9g. The internal diameter is 26.1mm x 20mm. A similar example has been recorded on the PAS database as YORYM-E5C545 which has been attributed to the Early-Medieval period due to its close association with other Early-Medieval material. This example however lacks such associations so cannot be securely dated to the Ea…

Object type: WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A rolled strip of lead of uncertain date. The object is made from a single rectangular piece of metal which has been rolled into a tube form and appears undecorated. The object is 34.8mm long, 10.9mm in diameter and weighs 21.9g. During the Roman period production of curse tablets consisting of written curses on small sheets of lead which were then rolled and offered to the gods was a common practice. As stray finds, out of context and still rolled up it is difficult to say whether such rolled lead sheets are Roman curse tablets or just pieces of waste lead from some sort of manufa…
