A lead alloy spindle whorl or weight. It is flat on both faces, with rounded edges, D shaped in section. There is no apparent decoration. The central perforation is approximately 10mm in diameter. A number of similar examples have been recorded by the Berkshire FLO, one of which is BERK-4D6A2C. These are difficult to date without other evidence, and are considered by some to be Roman when in this form, this artefact is from an area of known Roman activity Dimensions: It is 28mm in diameter and 7mm thick, the central hole is 10mm diameter and it weighs 29.28g

A probable scoop for cosmetic or toilet use. The material is uncertain but is probably lead alloy. It is formed of a short remnant of the shaft, which is triangular in section, the back being flat and the front having a ridge down the centre. It terminates in a wider, flattened circular section which is half the thickness of the shaft, and would scoop a small amount of power or similar. Like SWYOR-BFF380, there is not enough diagnostic material remaining to date but it may be Roman in period. Dimensions: It is 30mm long and the scoop is 8.5mm wide, it weighs 4.19g

A lead alloy or pewter flanged dish of probable late Roman date. Description The dish is fragmented but is nearly a complete vessel. The plate has a circular base with a short wall which runs vertical from the base at an angle of approximately 80 degrees. The rim is horizontal, flat, and is turned downwards and folded onto the underside thus forming a shallow facet around the perimeter. The form of rim suggests this belongs to Peal type 4b (Peal 1967). The central part of the base is made from a circular sheet of lead alloy. This was either soldered to the rest of…
