The find consists of three metal objects: Terminal of a flattened bar ingot; length, 31mm; weight 8.44 grams. Short, curved bar, with projections on one side and base; length, 22mm. Scrap piece; length, 13mm. Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated that A consists of lead-antimony with some tin and zinc; and B-C are of copper alloy. The objects are not of precious metal and are of uncertain date, so do not qualify as Treasure under the stipulated criteria of the Treasure Act. B.M. Ager

A cast lead alloy weight dating from the Roman to the Post-Medieval period, (AD 43-1700). The object is circular in plan. The upper face is stamped with the numerals VIII. The lower surface has been recently damaged, possibly due to the plough but is undecorated. The object has a mid-grey patina. Lead weights are common throughout the medieval and post-medieval period. The patina and condition of this weight suggests that a later date is more likely. Dimensions: 45mm in diameter, 11mm thick, 221g. Biggs, N. & Withers, P.

An incomplete lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is semi-circular in plan and is flat. On one face two circumferential ridges border the object. The opposite face is rough and pitted with two conjoined large circular depressions which measure 14mm in diameter. Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Medieval to Post-Medieval date is likely. The object may have functioned as a palm guard however these tend to be D-shaped in cross-section allowing them to sit comfortably in the hand. Palm guards were f…

A copper alloy object of uncertain date and function. The object consists of a central solid rod with striations on its outer surface. Wrapped around the central rod is an indistinct rounded piece of copper alloy which may be zoomorphic in nature or perhaps in the form of hands clasping the rod. Examined from one angle the clasping copper alloy appears to be a pig, and a frog from another angle while from the front of the object it appears to be clasped hands. The uncertainty of the decoration and incomplete nature of the object makes it difficult to identify correctly and date. Th…
