Cast lead shield shaped weight dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The object is shield-shaped in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The upper surface has a raised central shield-shaped panel. This is separated from the rounded outer border by a deep groove. The outer edges are rounded. There is a crude design in the raised field which is possibly a lion facing left. However the design is too worn to be certain. Similar examples can be seen on p.38, Biggs and Withers, (2000).

Cast copper alloy cup weight dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). It is circular in plan. The raised outer rim is decorated with a series of 22 punched dots.

A cast copper-alloy object, probably a trade weight of late-Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is circular in form, trapezoidal in cross section, with a concave front face and flat back face. At the centre of the front face there is a small raised area of copper-alloy, and at the centre of the back face is a small circular hole with raised edges as if it had been drilled or turned. Any identifying decoration or markings on either face of the object are now missing due to extensive encrustation and wear.
