An incomplete and flattened cast lead alloy possible toy dating from the Post-Medieval to the Modern period. The object is semi-circular in plan and before it was flattened together would have been hollow. The open end terminates with an irregular break which appear to be recent. At the rounded end are two incomplete circular projections which may be casting sprus or part of the object. Each face is decorated with moulded ring-and-dot motifs, two of which are visible on one face.

Sub-spherical weight with flattened ends where the large central perforation truncates the ball. There is a ridge expanding mid way down on each side of the internal walls of the perforation. The internal diameter of the perforation is 11mm. The outer surface of the object is uneven and has been damaged. Other weights of this shape have been suggested to be net or line weights from fishing. Modern line weights are similar but tend to have a smaller perforation. The well developed patina suggests that the weight has some age, but it is not possible to suggest the period.

Cast lead weight probably dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The weight is circular in plan and flat with rounded edges. The upper face is decorated with two raised concentric circles. Examples of weights with concentric circles can be found in Biggs, N. & Withers, P. Lead Weights: The David Rogers Collection English Weights Series - 6 Llanfyllin, Powys, p.25. They suggest these types may be Medieval in date although it is hard to be certain as they could be easily produced at home and the simple design may be used for a range of uses and dates (ibid:21). The object has a mid…

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.

Cast lead weight probably dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). The object is oval in plan and D-shaped in cross section. The upper surface is decorated with raised mouldings. Moulded lines radiate out from the central raised peak forming squares. Six moulded pellets decorate each square. Six linear mouldings radiate outwards from the squares.
