An almost complete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy weight (c. 450-c. 1000). This weight is circular in plan. The sides are facetted and chamfered curving to a smaller, slightly convex, almost flat base. It is unclear how many facets there are. The flat upper face is decorated with seven ring-and-dot motifs.

An incomplete and misshapen lead alloy vat or tank, possibly dating to the Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period (c. 750-c. 950). The handle, if it possessed one, is missing. Prior to being damaged, this vessel appears to have been circular in plan. From the base the sides flare outwards and upwards and the top is finished with a simple down-turned rim. Between the sides and base is a thick separate soldered strip extending around the circumference of the base. There are two diametrically opposed separate 'columns' which have been soldered to the sides. These extend from the base …
