A complete cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is broadly oval (sub-rectangular with tapering sides terminating in blunt points) in plan and cross section. On the upper point is an integral cast suspension loop which would have been circular in plan and oval in cross section but is distorted, probably from plough damage. The perforation / hole through the centre is also oval and again distorted. The body of the weight has a large central rib which extends from the upper edge to the base. The weight seems to be relatively undecorated. The …

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is heavily abraded and plough rolled having lost much of its original surface. What remains is a broadly oval (with tapering sides terminating in blunt points) in plan and lozenge (diamond) shaped in cross section. On the upper point is a broken integral cast suspension loop - the upper part has been lost - originally it would have been circular in plan and oval in cross section. The body of the weight has a large central rib which extends from the upper edge to the base and a thickened exterior rib whi…

A cast lead or lead alloy bi-faced half ounce weight of probable later medieval date (1300-1650). The weight is circular in plan and sub-rectangular in cross section. The front face of the weight depicts a relatively crudely depicted fleur-de-lis. The reverse depicts A voided long cross with a V shaped wedge in each divided quarter. The weight is a mid cream grey colour with an even patina which covers all surfaces. The edges (and faces) of the weight have been abraded causing it to become asymmetrical in plan. The weight measures 25mm in diameter, and is 4mm thick. It weighs 15 grams…

A cast lead alloy weight of probable post medieval 1600-1800 date. The weight is circular in plan and rectangular in cross section. It has a tapering square shaped hole through its mid point (4.5mm x 4.2mm) and has no sign of decoration, casting seam or casting spur. It is a light grey colour with a relatively thick surface patina. It is most likely to be a one ounce weight but could possibly be a counter / balance weight from a knife or dagger.
The weight measures: 20.3mm in diameter, 11.2mm high and weighs 26.88 grams (0.98 ozs)

A cast lead alloy weight with a circular cast hole and transverse bar across the centre. The upper surface is domed whilst the reverse is broken revealing a hollow centre. One long edge has a irregular oval shaped socket and it seems most likely that this weight was cast onto a larger object. As such it is most likely to be of a modern date (1600-1800)
The weight measures: 26.2mm in diameter, 16.7mm high and weighs 32.11 grams

Cast lead alloy weight with integrally cast loop of probable medieval or post medieval date (1250 - 1700). The weight is broadly cylindrical. The loop formed by two wedges being cut away leaving a rectangular sectioned projection - a drilled hiole is present but is somewhat elliptical probably through wear (diameter 3.2mm). There seems to be no decoration present. The weight is a mid grey cream colour with a good relatively unabraded patina. Where abrasion has occurred this has revealed the grey metal beneath. There is no evidence of corrosion products. The weight has a mass of 1 1/2 …

A cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable late Medieval or Post Medieval date (1250 - 1700). The weight is irregular in plan being broadly oval in shape with a D shaped cross section. Neither face or sides are decorated. The centre of the weight is pierced, the hole is oval shaped with a maximum diameter of 11.2mm. The weight is a mid grey colour with a relatively even and corroded patina that covers all surfaces. A light active powdery corrosion product is present on all surfaces.

A cast lead alloy circular ball (similar in size and shape to a musket ball) of probable post medieval 1600-1800 date. The ball has a circular shaped hole through its mid point (5.19mm in diameter) and has no sign of decoration, casting seam or casting spur. It is a light grey colour with a relatively thick surface patina. It is highly unlikely that the ball is from shot and instead is suggested to be from a line or net weight.
The ball measures: 16.35mm in diameter, 14.76mm high and weighs 20.0 grams

The weight is a mid grey white colour with an even patina that covers all surfaces. It has been marked and abraded in the soil this has caused it to become asymmetrical. Similar standing weights have been dated to the medieval period. (Norman Biggs, 1992: 'Engl…

Cast lead or lead alloy weight of probable medieval date (1300 - 1550). The weight is sub-circular (formed from eight uneven and irregular facets / faces) in plan and sub-triangular (conical) in profile. Through the centre of the weight is a cast conical hole. The purpose of this hole is uncertain but it might have had a length of wire or string to allow it to be suspended, this would aid safe-keeping and storage. The weight measures 22.41mm in length, 20.74mm width and is 21.77mm high. It weighs 60.1 grams.
The weight undecorated. It is a mid grey colour with an even patina that co…

Cast copper alloy trade weight of probable later medieval or post medieval date (14500-1850). The weight is circular in plan with a series of incised compass drawn incised lines creating a thick border around the edge. The centre of the weight has been punched / stamped with a simple crown. The crown has a curved base and high bi-foliate side fleurs which conjoin with the central lis and ornaments to create a stylised design. The reverse face has a series of heavily applied file marks which are patinated. It is unmarked and the surface is slight corroded. No other stamped marks are p…

Cast copper alloy weight of post-medieval date (1588-1603). The weight is part of a larger group of stacking weights, having a wide and relatively thick raised edge on the upper face. It measures 4.4mm thick, diameter of 36.6mm and weighs 24.9 grams (0.88 ozs or 384.6 grains). The front and rear faces both have turned circles around a central hollow point; all of these concentric circles are regular and well formed. At the centre of the front face is a damaged image which is within a circle and adjacent, outside the circle is a crudely stamped / punched sword. Below this is a ewer sta…

A cast lead alloy weight, most likely of Post Medieval in date. This weight is circular in shape. The obverse face of the disc is roughly flat and undecorated. The reverse however contains a large casting sprue which was never removed, meaning this weight was never finished; the general surface is also uneven.
