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…

Four (4) complete cast spherical lead alloy probable weights or possible shot, of Post Medieval dating. 1. has a diameter of 18.67mm and weighs 26.7 grams. (TGid: 5) 2. has a diameter of 22.05mm and weighs 55.9 grams. (TGid: 3) 3. has a diameter of 22.8mm and weighs 60.6 grams. (TGid: 20) 4. has a diameter of 25.28mm and weighs 74 grams. (TGid: 11) All four exhibit a vertical perforation, from top to bottom, suggesting that their primary function was initially as a weight, but as they were found in proximity to several other probable lead shot, then a secondar…

A complete cast lead or lead alloy weight, of probable Medieval dating (1300 to 1550 AD). The weight is an irregular cone in plan, and triangular in profile / cross section. A length of thick iron wire has been inserted into the top of the weight (the flat surface of the cone), probably as a method of suspension. Iron corrosion products present have obscured the original shape of the probable suspension loop. No decoration is present on the weight. It is a light to mid grey colour, with an even surface patina. It measures 22.99mm tall, and has a diameter of 20.90mm at the to…

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1350 - 1700). The weight is sub-circular in plan and sub-triangular shaped (conical) in cross section. The exterior surface is uneven and abraded; there is no evidence of cast or applied decoration. An irregular cast hole is present at the top of the weight. The ends of an iron rod are present half way down the sides, this would have presumably aided suspension. The base of the weight is irregular, with the remains of a stamped impression, with a crown above and two suns below. The weight is …
