A complete lead-alloy probable net weight or loom weight of Medieval to Post Medieval date (AD 1200-1800). It is cylindrical in plan and circular in section. There is a central, sub-circular perforation through the object, 4.2mm in diameter. The upper and lower surfaces are flat. The object is undecorated. Lead weights are difficult to date securely or assign to specific tasks without archaeological context, as they change very little and thus a wide date range is suggested. The form of these weights has been suggested as reflecting those utilised for fishing or as net sinkers, t…

A complete possible Medieval copper-alloy weight. It is circular in plan with a flat base, conical walls and a hollowed interior. It perhaps functioned as a weight or potentially an inkwell, although no copper alloy examples of the latter are recorded on the database. Neveretheless, the weight and patina of the object could potentially indicate a Bronze Age date.  Diameter: 33.1mm; Height: 23.9mm; Weight: 100.03g.
