A complete cast lead weight of unknown date. The weight is circular in plan with a flat top and base. There are no marks or decoration present on any surface and its shape suggests it was used as a measure. The metal is a light whitish-brown colour and is worn. It weighs 32.9g. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and may date from the Roman to post-medieval period.

A complete cast lead weight of uncertain date. The weight is biconical in plan with a flattened top and bottom and a central circular longitudinal perforation. The metal is a mid brown colour and is worn. The weight is 48.2mm long, 34.5mm in diameter and weighs 252g. Due to the size and shape of this weight it is likely to have been used as a sinker for fishing net.
