Lead pot mend. A large cast plug to mend a hole in a vessel wall of thickness 4mm. The inner side of the plug [as poured] bears a scratched graffito resembling a kite, with a central cross for struts.

Lead vessel repair or pot mend. A small oval plug to mend a hole in a vessel wall of thickness 2mm, with a tiny sherd of oxidised red fabric trapped in the mend. Patinated. The finder kindly notes a thumb print in the upper surface of the object as the lead was poured, as a very personal link to the person who repaired a vessel. Patinated. The small size, neat finish and fabric all point to a Roman date. Suggested date: Roman, 43-410 Length: 20.2mm, Width: 17.3mm, Thickness: 6.3mm, Weight: 10.17gms

Lead weight. A small cast sub-cylindrical lead weight with a step at its mid-point and a tapered round-topped and drilled loop above the step at its top. The form and provision for suspension might point to use as a steelyard poise – a steelyard weight was reported along with this object – though a flat base would also permit use as a standing or scale pan weight. Patinated. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Diameter: 15.7mm, Height: 27mm, Weight: 31.96gms

Lead possible pipe fragment. Cast cylinder with an irregular central hole of length 9.5mm and width 9mm, possibly formed by rolling a rectangular billet of thick [7-9mm] cast lead sheet and crimping or sealing the ends, a process of manufacture perhaps visible at one end. Patinated and abraded. This object may have been intended for the sealing of a watertight joint. However, it also resembles solid weights of a waisted bobbin or cotton reel form which are reported from Roman sites, albeit their function is unknown.

Lead steelyard weight. Cast sub-conical [there is an inswing towards the top of the object when it is viewed in profile] weight with an iron bar, presumably the relict of a suspension loop, passing vertically through its centre. Fabric at the flat top is beaten over, perhaps correcting lipping after casting in an open mould. Lightly patinated. These common objects may relate to an official regime of exaction or taxation, and indeed the use of lead dated to Roman times seems persistently linked to official functions, or to those sites of high status which are thought to have been involv…

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with an upstanding rim or recess on its upper surface. Dave Haldenby kindly comments that this may leave the date uncertain, as well as the mass if the recess were to indicate the loss of an inserted object. The definition of the form is especially crisp and might open the possibility of a Roman date, perhaps as a [slightly overweight] half uncia, or even as a later half ounce under the averdepois system. The present mass does not suggest close correspondence with suspected Viking Age systems of measurement. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410 Diame…

Lead probable steelyard weight. Cast conical lead weight with small apical hole and a larger hole in its base. It is just possible that the body of the weight was cast in two stages, and probable that it was cast in an open mould, inferences from the appearance of the base with shrinkage lines and/or a discernible separation between two putative stages of manufacture. A tall plano-convex form might appear on a Roman steelyard weight whence the iron hook was withdrawn before deposition - hence there is no trace of rust staining. Dave Haldenby kindly notes that this weight could be con…
