A complete circular cast lead object, possibly a spindle whorl or other weight. The whorl is biconvex, with one surface having received steeper bevelling than the other. The top is flattened and the base is slightly concave. It is basic and has suffered corrosion. It is seemingly undecorated. The artefact has a spindle hole with a diameter of 6.4mm. The spindle whorl is 7.9mm thick and weighs 16.01g.
It has been pointed out that the weight of a spindle whorl is suggestive of the thickness of yarn produced, with lighter spindle whorls (3-5 grams) being used for spinning cotton and the heavier ones (30 - 35 grams) for spinning wool (Margeson 1993, 184). It is uncertain, therefore, as to what might have been spun using this object, although the likelihood is that it would have been used for wool, if anything. The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult and a wide date range is therefore offered.

A bent and corroded part of a cast copper-alloy sheet plate from a buckle of uncertain date. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape. It tapers gradually from a width of 10.8mm at the attachment end to 7.0mm towards the terminal, beyond which the sides curve to a (now abraded) rounded terminal. At the opposite end there is an off-centre tab; the tab on the other side has been lost. This is a pair of rivet holes at the frame end with a third hole central at the terminal. The object has corroded to an orange-brown colour, with large patches of light-green and off-white corrosion product. The plate has been bent in profile, downwards particularly at the frame end.

A worn and corroded small cast lead weight in the shape of a frustum, or truncated cone. It is broadly trapezoidal in cross-section, with a flat base. It has a hole running right through its centre; the hole tapers slightly towards the top which has been flattened slightly at an angle: Dia.: 8.3 - 7.0mm. The artefact now has an off-white surface with denting all over, especially to the base. Such objects are undiagnostic and a wide date range is here given.

Cast lead alloy decorated spindle whorl. The whorl is circular with a flat base and domed top, slightly flattened in the centre, and a circular hole running through the centre. The upper side is decorated with raised lines radiating out from the central hole, these are thought to help the spindle work as well as be decorative. It is 32.7 mm in diameter and 11.6 mm thick; weights 52.5 grams. Locally cast lead spindle whorls were in use from the Roman to Post Medieval period and are hard to date precisely.

Cast copper alloy stud attached to a broadly rectangular copper alloy sheet rove. The stud has a flattened sub-circular head and a blunted, twisted shaft of square cross-section. The rove is closely fitted to the head of the stud and the centre is convex. The metal is dark red-brown in colour with patches of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The date is uncertain although it is probably Roman or Post Medieval in date; this is supported by finds made in the vicinity. The rove is 13.5mm long, 11.0mm wide and 1.1mm thick excluding the stud shaft, 11.7mm including. It weighs 2.05 grams in total.

One end is rounded the other has an old, almost square break. The lower side is slightly irregular. Emerging from the spine on the upper surface are six pellets spaced equally along its length. These extend down the sides and have all been truncated, with old breaks. They could be sprues from the casting process. It is 40.1mm long, 13.2mm wide, 4.8mm thick and weighs 8.40 grams.

An incomplete copper alloy unidentified object, presumably a tool of some kind, of uncertain date. It has a very sharp pointed tip and a worn break at the opposite end (probably the base of a missing tang).
The surviving pointed element is conical in shape with an oval cross-section, 29.1mm in length and max.7.1mm wide and 6.5mm thick just above the base where it narrows to 6.5x5.7mm. A collar of grooved linear decoration c.6mm high flanks the base of the cone and features a pair of lines forming a zig-zag between a single concentric groove (at the base) and a pair of concentric grooves.
Within the base is an offset worn rectangular scar from the broken tang measuring 3.8x2.5mm and 0.2mm high. Presumably the tang would have slotted into a wooden or bone handle.
Two visible casting flashes are offset from each other. They are otherwise worn smooth. The metal is yellowy-green in colour and all original patina has been lost. The object measures 29.3mm in length and weighs 4.67g.

A cast copper-alloy fragment of uncertain date and function. The small piece has a circular cross-section and appears complete at one end. The complete terminal is fairly flat with bevelled edges. Beyond, the object narrows to a waist before expanding to similar dimensions to the terminal. The waisted central section is slightly faceted (Dia.: 6.65mm). Beyond the expansion the object narrows to a shaft with a sub-rectangular cross-section (6.7 by 4.9mm). The old break has occurred just as the 'shaft' begins. The object has a mid-green patina with traces of what seems to be a white metal coating at the terminal.

A cast copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. The piece is flat and sub-oval in plan with an oval shape missing one end where there is a straight edge which may be complete or an old break. The front is decorated by a central dot with a large incised circle around it. Between this circle and the edge are three circular perforations for attachment. They are arranged in a triangle and the arrangement suggests the straight edge was not attached to an object in the same way as the opposite end. It may suggest the straight edge is original or possibly had a projection from it. Although plain, the form is, in some ways, similar to vessel mounts of the Iron Age to early-medieval periods, although a later date cannot be ruled out. The object generally has a dark-grey patina. It has been bent down slightly at the rounded end.

Fragment of a copper alloy object of possible Roman date. The object consists of a pointed drop-shaped element with a tip turned out at 30 degrees angle. The tip and the opposite side are now missing due to old breaks. Both the front and the reverse side are decorated: half of the face has three longitudinal grooves which leave three thin raised lines; the other half is concave on both sides.
The object has a brown-green patina with traces of corrosion. It measures 25.8 mm in length, 15.4 mm in width, 4.8 mm in thickness and weighs 4.68 g.
Without knowing what the object is, it is difficult to suggest a date. However, it was found near mostly Roman artefacts, therefore a Roman dating is possibly.

A solid copper alloy ring of unknown date and function, possibly a suspension ring or part of a chain for suspension.
The ring is very regular in form and has a maximum diameter of 66.2mm that varies little across the ring.
The hoop is similarly regular. In cross section it is an an isosceles triangle with the short straight edge being the inner edge of the ring. From the top and bottom of this inner edge the upper and lower surfaces taper to a rounded point marking the ring's exterior edge.
The hoop has a maximum thickness of 4.8mm and is 8.8mm wide .
The majority of the ring is covered in a dark brown/green patina that has flaked off in parts revealing a light green colour to the object.
Due to the simplicity of its form it is hard to date this object precisely but it could be a suspension ring for a vessel, similar to Egan (1998, 169-170) although with a different cross section.

A solid cast copper-alloy button with a thick tin coating, uncertain in date, either medieval or modern. It is circular in plan and domed front and back with a definite carination between the sides. There is a scar at the centre of one face, with two depressions, for a seperate narrow copper-alloy wire loop.
The button is similar to an example illustrated in Egan and Prichard (1991, 274; fig 178, no.1388) which is from a context dated c. AD 1270-1350. Use of large numbers of such buttons was fashionable in the mid 14th century, however similar small buttons were also popular in the 18th to 19th century and can be hard definitively distinguish.

Roman to Post Medieval (1st to 19th century) unidentified object: The artefact is a large lead oval ball with a flattened upper and lower edge with multiple, equi-distant six circular iron studs around the side, one iron stud on one flat surface and two on the lower face. The iron is in a stable condition and the lead has a matte light grey/cream coloured surface. It measures 43.69mm diameter, 28.41mm thick and weighs 230g.
A similar object is recorded on the PAS database, SUSS-158547, and the Finds Liaison Officer wrote 'The purpose and age of the object is unclear. Suggestions include a Roman or medieval steelyard weight; although it is more crudely shaped than they usually are and the iron inclusions are not usual; or a mace/cosh with projecting iron pins. Medieval maces were usually of iron and it is unclear how secure an iron attachment loop into a lead ball would be if subjected to pressure while swinging and striking.'
