A cast lead spindle whorl of Roman or later date. It is circular in form, dome-shaped in section with a central circular aperture. The back face is flat but has a slight lip or rim around the edge resultant from the method of manufacture. It measures 23.45mm in diameter, 9.27mm in thickness, and weighs 27.03g. This is a lead spindle whorl that may be of any date from the Roman period onwards although perhaps most likely from the Medieval or Post-Medieval periods.

A cast lead weight of uncertain date. It has a flat circular base from which extends a tapering rectangular shaft that is triangular in profile. At the pointed top of the weight is a single very small circular central aperture. It measures 17.27mm in height, 10.83mm in diameter at base, and weighs 6.79g. This is a small lead weight of uncertain function or date. It is likely to be Post-Medieval or later, although an earlier date cannot be ruled out entirely.

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy object of uncertain date, possibly a weight. It is broadly circular in plan, narrowing in diameter to the top which features a penannular moulding, a ring either abraded or mis-cast (c. 28.6mm). It therefore has a broadly trapezodal cross-section. It stands on the flat base, but can also stand on the ring. The object has corroded to a variable yellow-brown colour.

Lead
Possible Weight. An irregularly cast cube with two flat surfaces, both of which bear straight scratches which in one case converge approximately centrally to that surface.

A cast lead weight, probably a spindle whorl, of Roman or later date. It is conical in form with flat back face and slightly flattened top with central circular aperture.
