Lead pan weight of uncertain date The weight is complete (with a length of 18.5mm). Both faces are circular (with a diameter of 14-15mm). The sides are concave, producing a minimum diameter of 12.2mm). One of the faces has the suggestion of an incised design, possibly a star within a circular border. The weight weighs 25.0g, which is equivalent to 0.885oz. The weight is not diagnostic and is difficult to date the weight of 25.0g is broadly consistent with a 1oz weight of Medieval and post medieval systems.

Cast lead weight possibly a line fishing weight similar to those used in Viking Dublin (Wallace 1999). The weight resembles a Dublin type 1 or 2 (ibid.), the piece does not have perforations at either end, as would be required for a hand fishing line, although there are suggestions of marks at these points. The weight may be a counter weight from a tool such as a woodworking plane, possibly of 19th century date. The weight has a flat base with domed top at the centre and flat ends.

Decorated lead pan weight of uncertain date, probably later Medieval or early Post medieval. The weight is an irregular circular with a raised border. The face is decorated with cast pellets between radiating lines from a central pellet. The weight (abraded around the edges) now weighs 45.7g or 1.61oz. (706 grains). While this weight does not correspond very closely to standardised weights, the decoration has some similarities with a larger lead weight found in London (Egan, 1998, No. 1008, pp314, fig. 235) in a late 14th century context.
