Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead object, possibly a weight with a broad Roman to post-medieval date range. The object is flat and circular in shape with a marginal groove in the section of the circumference. This gives the object the appearance of being two discs of lead sandwiched together. The upper surface of the object is stamped with a monogram of which only the letter 'P' is clearly visible. The object measures 22mm in diameter and 4mm in thickness. Roger Tomlin notes: 'With its exaggerated horizontal serifs, the letter is not obviously Roman, although the possiblity cannot be excluded.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead object, probably a fishing weight or net sinker of uncertain date, but possibly Roman. The object comprises a flat, rectangular sheet which has been rolled to form a hollow cylinder which has subsequently opened. There are depressions on the outer surface of the sheet where the object has been squeezed together with tongs or another similar tool. The weight can be classified as Tyrell (2015) Type C4: a rolled lead weight made from sheet lead. Tyrell suggests that such weights may date to the third or fourth century AD. At Elm's Farm, Weybridge, several weights of this type w…

An unidentified lead object, possibly a weight or the interior of a composite stud. The object is circular in shape and domed in section. It possesses a flat base. It is pierced with a central, circular perforation. The object measures 17mm in diameter, 9mm in thickness and the perforation has a diameter of 3mm. it weighs 13.43g. If a weight, it can be classified as a Tyrell (2015) Type A2: a domed weight with a central circular perforation. Although resembling a spindle whorl, the diameter is too small to enable it to be used in this way effectively.

A lead-alloy roll, probably a fishing weight dating to the Roman period. If a fishing weight, it can be classified as a Tyrell Type (2015) C4 (Rolled sheet). The identification of such objects remains disputed. It may be a fishing weight, a rolled lead-alloy coin substitute, or a votive object rolled around another object with personal or ritual significance as seen in the Temple of Isis and Magna Mater in Mainz where lead-alloy sheet was rolled around the bones of songbirds and other material.
