Octagonal-sectioned tapering lead, or lead-alloy, weight. The weight is pinched and perforated at its narrowest end for suspension. Possibly for use with a steelyard. The close dating of lead weights is difficult; excavated examples range in date from the Roman period until the nineteenth century. Brian Read has published a similar example which he dates to the 12th to 13th century (Read 1995, 99, no.609). Height 20mm, maximum width 15mm

Post medieval copper alloy trade weight of 17th century date. The quarter ounce trade weight is complete, with a few damaged edges, measuring 19.5mm in diameter, 3.4mm in thickness and weighing 6.05g. The raised edge around the stamped inner area is 2mm wide and 0.6mm high. The weight is stamped with a sword (the City of London Guildhall mark) a ewer (the London Founder's Company mark) and a crowned 'C' which would indicate it was issued during either the reign of Charles I (1625-1649) or Charles II (1660-1685).
