A complete lead or lead alloy weight, of probable Late Medieval to Post Medieval dating (AD 1300 to AD 1800). The weight is cylindrial in plan, and sub circular in cross section. One end has been squashed together. The central hole has an internal diameter of 8.1 mm. Corrosion products and soil are still present inside the central perforation. It is a light to mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, probably caused by movement in the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of a significant proportion of the original surface. It measures 42.6 mm long, has a diame…

An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain form and function, of possible Post Medieval dating (Ad 1500 to AD 1800). The artefact is irregular in shape, with a flat cross section. The front of the artefact has been decorated, possibly representing a fish or stylised animal. Two edges are incomplete, with patinated breaks. The possible animal has a long snake like body, with raised edges and a central rouletted ridge.

A complete sub circular flat bronze weight or unidentified artefact of uncertain dating. It is sub circular in shape, with a flat cross profile.  It measures 50.3 mm in length, 44.4 mm wide and 14.9 mm thick. It weighs 151.5 g. The artefact is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail. At the time of recording, this artefact has not been identified to a specific form or function. It could be a weight, or possible bun ingot of Bronze Age dating.

A probably complete circular sectioned copper alloy rod, of uncertain dating.  The artefact has a circular cross section and consists of a cylinderical rod. The rod has been bent back on itself, forming an almost complete loop. One end is wider (5.5 mm) than the other (4.9) mm. Both ends are patinated. It is hard to tell if they are complete or broken. If straightened, it would have a length of 92 mm. Currently it has a length of 42.5 mm, a width of 25.1 mm and is 5.4 mm thick. It weighs 14.0 g. The artefact is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, cau…

An incomplete copper alloy artefact of uncertain function and form, of uncertain dating, but possibly Roman (AD 43 to AD 410). The artefact is rectangular in shape, with a triangular cross section. At the top, are the remains of a broken loop. Beneath that, is a stepped section. The other sides are flat.  It measures 15.9 mm in length, 15.1 mm wide and 14.0 mm thick. It weighs 9.0 g. The artefact is a mid green to brown colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement while within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.
