Record ID: LVPL-8C8520
Object type: HARNESS MOUNT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete lead alloy harness mount of post-medieval date. Originally it would have been circular with a raised central boss and decorated around the outside with perhaps 12 smaller raised bosses - 2 of which survive. The central boss is damaged and may have been decorated. In the depression between the central and outer bosses there is a raised decoration of touching circles. On the reverse the surface is slightly concave and there is a remnant of what may have been the method of fixing this decorated lead item.
Similar examples which can be found on the PAS database is LVPL-…

Record ID: LVPL-8C185D
Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire East
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post Medieval lead token or decoration. The token is circular with raised decoration on the obverse. On the obverse the decoration depicts a shield overlaid with a long cross. The top two quarters of the shield may have a letter in each whilst the bottom two quarters contain a pellet each. The piece is bound by a border of raised zig zag lines. The reverse is blank and flat suggesting that it could have been attached - maybe to leather. The item is slightly buckled probably as a result of damage by a plough.

Object type: WEIGHT
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl or loom weight of probable medieval date. It is oval in plan and conical in section with a flat base. All surfaces are undecorated and have an uneven pale grey patina. The central perforation is 6mm in diameter, and is exposed on one side, presumably due to damage.
Lead weights of this form were commonly used throughout the medieval and post-medieval period and are therefore difficult to date accurately. Examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are…

Record ID: LVPL-33E3A4
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is circular in plan and is D-shaped in cross-section. The flat face is rough and uneven with no visible pitting.
Due to its undiagnostic nature it cannot be dated closely however the condition of the lead suggests a Post-Medieval date is likely.
The object may have functioned as a palm guard however there are no diagnostic features. Palm guards were for use by a leather worker to protect the palm whilst stitching. Bailey (1995, 64-65) dates such objects to the 17th century onwards.

County: Cheshire West and Chester
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A large lead alloy weight of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and has a central circular perforation and raised rim. The perforation has an internal diameter of 12mm. Each face is undecorated.
Dimensions: 61mm in diameter, 15mm thick, 420g.
The dating of lead objects of this general type is problematic, and their use is invariably uncertain. The term 'weight' is used here in its broadest sense to include uses that do not involve weighing (e.g. holding-down, tensioning, etc.). They were probably mostly used as net weights, loom weights.

Description:
An incomplete lead alloy salt pan of Roman date. The object consists of two halves of a salt pan of flattened lead alloy each of which are rectangular in plan with a folded rectangular rim along two edges. The remaining two edges on each half appear to have been cut in what appears to be a deliberate way.
One half of the object (fragment 1) is marked with three circles in a triangular formation next to the numerals XXX. These are likely to be a measure of capacity. The other half (fragment 2) has been stamped with a possible name reading (OCCOTHOM) written with wha…
