A cast lead alloy trade weight, of uncertain date but probably from the Medieval to Post Medieval periods, circa 1250 - 1700. The weight is sub-square in plan view with rounded corners and trapezoidal in section. The reverse of the weight is flat and undecorated with some surface wear. The sides of the weight slope inwards to a flat, sub-square face with a mounded, raised, central cross creating four recessed fields of roughly equal size. Three of the quadrants on the face of the weight are damaged with surface loss. Scratch marks are present on the most significantly damaged of the q…

A complete cast lead alloy 'egg-shaped' or sub cylindrical weight of probable Medieval to Post Medieval date, circa AD1350-1600. Possible steelyard weight. The weight is circular in plan and oval in section. A vertical perforation is present through the centre of the weight. The diameter of the perforation is approximately 4.8mm at both ends of the weight. There are deep scratch marks around the circumference of the perforation at both ends, presumably the damage was created through use. The surface of the weight is rough and undecorated. The weight is a dark grey colour. The …

A complete cast lead alloy weight, sometimes known as a 'pound weight', of uncertain date. The weight possibly dates from the Medieval to Post Medieval periods, circa AD1500-1700 owing to the dating of surrounding finds. The weight is sub circular in plan and sub rectangular in section. The surfaces of the weight are heavily scratched and abraded, particularly around the edges. On one face, 2 circular corroded stubs, which are flush with the face of the weight, of the now missing iron attachment hoop are clearly visible. The other face has a raised semi-circular panal which may have b…

A complete probable cast lead alloy hollow standing weight of uncertain date, but probably Post Medieval, circa AD1600-1800. However, another possible identification is a protective cap for a peg or other similar object. The weight is sub-cylindrical in form, with a round, flat base. Parallel sides rise from the base, which are slightly lob-sided. The rim would have originally been sub circular but is now slightly contorted. The damage is not new. The thickness of the sides at the rim is approximately 2.3mm. The maximum diameter at the rim is 15.17mm. The approximate depth of the holl…

A cast copper alloy fragment probably from a stacking weight of Post Medieval date, circa AD1600-1800. The fragment would have been part of a set of circular weights which would have stacked inside each other. The fragment was broken in antiquity. The surfaces of the fragment are heavily worn due to movement in the plough soil. Part of a thickened, raised circular edge survives. A rim chart indicates that originally the weight would have had a diameter of approximately 7cm. The surviving upper and lower faces of the weight are plain and flat. Originally, the weight may have been stamp…
