Early medieval(?) lead alloy weight. The object is circular in form and sub rectangular in cross section, with bowed sides. It has a tringular depression in the centre of its upper surface with a corresponding slight circular depression around the remains of an iron loop? or inclusion at the opposite end. The form of the weight and the depression, probably for a metal infill, suggest an early medieval date, but the traces of iron, suggesting a suspension loop suggest otherwise? possible parallel could be LANCUM-107126 which has a projection in its lower surface. Height: 24 mm, d…

Undated copper alloy weight, 42mm long, 12mm wide and 5mm thick with a weight of 8.97g. The weight is ovoid in form and sub rectangular in cross section and has an integral ovoid suspenion loop at one end. The opposite end elongates slightly, forming a tear drop shape. The object has been roughly cast and whilst it is probably a weight, this cannot be confirmed. The surface has been affected by iron staining due to the presence of large amounts of ironstone in the ground. The colour otherwise could suggest a medieval or later date.
