Lead weight, probably late medieval to post-medieval in date (c. AD 1400 - 1800). The weight is cylindrical. Both faces are inset. One face has a pattern of recessed ovals around the edge of the inset section. The other face has a recessed oval on one edge of the inset section and a central recessed circle, from which a groove extends to the edge of the inset section on the opposite side to the oval. The object has a white patina. It is 46.26mm in diameter, 14.54mm in thickness and weighs 216g.

Lead weight of uncertain date (c. AD 43 - 1800). The object is oval with a circular perforation that does not extend all the way through. A hollowed circular section on the other side of the object may represent an abandoned attempt to extend this perforation. The object is dark grey in colour. It is 24.11mm in length, 21.44mm in width and 17.34mm in thickness. The perforation is 2.43mm in diameter. The object weighs 45.32g. It can be difficult to date lead weights without archaeological context. This example has no diagnostic features that would allow it to be more precisely dated.

Lead conical and perforated weight of post-medieval date (c. AD 1600 - 1800). The weight has a slightly expanded circular base. It is perforated centrally by a circular hole. The object has a white patina with a rough and pitted surface. It is 21.65mm in length, 22.77mm in diameter and weighs 42.09g. There are a number of similar examples recorded on the database, including: LEIC-75FABE and LANCUM-F064D0. There is a great deal of uncertainty over the date of this type of lead weight, although the string retained in the latter example suggests a post-medieval to modern date is most …

Large lead and iron weight of uncertain date, probably Roman or post-medieval. The weight is conical with the remains of an iron suspension loop on the circular base. It has a white patina. It is 79.61mm in length and 49.84mm in diameter. It weighs 768g. It can be difficult to date lead weights without archaeological context. The iron suspension loop is similar to steelyard weights dated to the Roman period, however the conical form of this weight is paralleled by examples that are given a post-medieval date or uncertain date: SUSS-7ACA11, LANCUM-733E0A, GLO-DFCF7C.

Lead suspension weight of uncertain date, probably medieval to post-medieval (c. AD 1400 - 1800). The weight is conical with a circular base and a rectangular, perforated suspension loop. There is a significant degree of overlap at the base, which is crudely curled under the bottom of the object. The weight has a white patina. The object is 41.45mm in length and the base of the object is 23.62mm in diameter. It weighs 71.47g. A similar example recorded on the database is: KENT-978DC1, which has been given a post-medieval date.

Lead and iron weight of late medieval or post-medieval date (c. AD 1400 - 1600). The weight was probably formed from pouring molten lead into a thimble; consequently, it is cylindrical in form, with a rounded, hachured end. Two iron stubs protrude from the top: these are the remains of a suspension loop. The object has a white patina with red patches from iron corrosion. The object is 18.61mm in length and 14.88mm in diameter. It weighs 30.32g. See YORYM-413052 for a similar example recorded on the database.

Lead weight of uncertain date (c. AD 43 - 1800). The weight is broadly lentoid in shape, bulging at the middle and narrowing at each end. It has a rough, pitted surface with a white patina. It is 34.63mm in length and 14.09mm in width. It weighs 29.79g. This type of lead weight was crudely made and had multiple functions, including as fishing weights. Similar objects are known from the Roman to the post-medieval period and it is therefore not possible to assign a more precise range to this example

Lead weight of late medieval to early post-medieval date (c. AD 1380 - 1600). The weight is 'shield-shaped' - a triangle with rounded corners. Within a recessed area on the front is the raised design of a fleur-de-lys surmounted by a crown. The crown is similar in form to those found on late medieval coinage, with bifoliate outer tines and a central trefoliate tine, interspersed with fleur-de-lys. The object has a light brown patina. It is 72.09mm in length, 58.39mm in width and 13.38mm in thickness. It weighs 313g. There are a number of weights of similar form and design recorded …

Post-medieval copper-alloy trade weight (AD 1625 - 1830). The weight is discoid with raised flat rim on the upper face. The upper face has a central circular indentation and a circular groove in the middle of the face; in the space between this and the outer rim are the very worn stamps of a sword, a crowned CR or GR and possibly the letter A. Patches of green copper corrosion obscure much of this face. The back face has a indented circular section in the centre, formed during the manufacture of the object. The weight is 56.38mm in diameter, 6.0mm in thickness and weighs 94.18g. It…

Lead and iron steelyard weight of Roman date (c. AD 43 - 410). The weight is spherical in shape and tapers at the top around two red-brown spurs; these are the remains of an iron loop. The object has a white patina. It is 47.15mm in length, 41.40mm in diameter and weighs 404g. There are many similar examples of this type of object recorded on the database, including: BH-B61A58, SWYOR-B7F132, IC-5CC982 and LANCUM-82F8EF. Although lead weights are difficult to date precisely without archaeological context, this type of weight is typically assigned to the Roman period.
