A complete lead weight dating to the post medieval period AD 1700-1900 The object is notable manufactured by lead due to its white parlour. It is circular in shape, but not spherical in cross section, because with exceptions with lumps and bumps on the surface, the object is flat. The obverse surface is decorated with a worn, but obvious design of a rider and his horse. The rider appears to be holding some sort of sceptre or staff, implying that the figure could potentially be someone of great significance and importance.

An incomplete Roman or medieval lead weight dating to c AD 43-1500. Its cross section is D shape, but it appears to be rather flat, compared to other weight specimens. It could be suggested that the weight was unintentionally squashed or cut at some point.
