A cast lead alloy object of unceratin function and date. The object is sub-circular in plan and oval in cross-section. At the top of the object is a central projection which is oval in cross-section. The projection is incomplete and possibly would have formed an attachment loop. Projecting from either side of the possible incomplete loop are two curved pointed triangular projections (four in total). The projections curve towards the central attachment. Each face of the object is decorated with lines of raised moulded pellets. A casting seeem remains around the edge of the object below…

An incomplete lead alloy object of uncertain function. The object is semi-circular in plan and is flat. Each face is undecorated, rough and pitted. Due to its undiagnostic nature it can not 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 plam guard however these tend to be D-shaped in cross-section allowing them to sit comfortably in the hand. 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…

An incomplete copper alloy object of Post-Medieval date. The object is sub-oval in plan and semi-circular in cross-section. It is decorated with grooves throughout its length on the outer face. The open end of the object terminates with a break. The object is corroded and has traces of a mid-brown patina on the outer face. The object is similar to a Post-Medieval saddle pommel howver is too small to have functioned as such. A saddle pommel would have been riveted onto a wooden protrusion on the front of the frame of the saddle, to which the reins could then be secured. Saddles were…

A cast lead alloy unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is circular in plan and conical. There is no decoration on any face of the object. The edges are smooth and rounded. The object may have functioned as a gaming piece or weight, however due to its un-diagnostic nature this cannot be certain. Alternatively it may have been formed as casting waste. The light cream patina is suggestive of an early date however objects such as this were in use from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period.
