Small cast lead Viking weight which is rectangular in plan. The upper surface has been decorated with a thin plate of copper alloy moulding which has a bright green patina. There is moulding on the top of the copper plate which has been gilded, the remains of which can be seen in the grooves of the decoration. The design is of two spirals with an indistinct moulded animal head where the two circles meet. It is likely to be Hiberno-Scandinavian and can be dated to the late 8th/early 9th century.

A cast lead alloy spherical weight or spindle whorl of uncertain date. The object is sub-spherical with flattened ends where the large central perforation truncates the ball. The internal walls of the perforation are straight. The internal diameter of the perforation is 7.14mm. 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.
