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.

Cast lead weight with decorated and gilt copper alloy fragment embedded in the lead. The object comprises a sub-rectangular lead base, sub-rectangular in section. The face has a piece of carved and gilded copper alloy embedded in it; this piece appears to have been both shaped and cut, though the egdes are largely enveloped by the lead. The decoration comprises asymmetric scrollwork; it does not appear to be zoomorphic in nature but rather non-figurative, intricate pointed knots. These have been carved, leaving raised lines, with the whole of the copper alloy face being gilt. A light …

Double-conical lead weight with central vertical perforation, 8.8mm wide. The weight is decorated in high-relief on both sides with a zig-zag line, with a pellet in each angle. This kind of lead weight is a very frequent metal-detecting find, especially on ploughed and pasture land. There is some archaeological evidence for these lead weights to have been used as spindle whorls in the 16th/17th century (pers. comm. Dr Kevin Leahy), but has been suggested that they could also have been used as net sinkers, fishing weights or weight for traps at a somewhat later date.

A small, bi-conical perforated lead weight, with a flat top and base. The hole which runs through the centre of the weight has a circular section. These weighs are not yet completely understood. It is possible they could have been spindle whorls dating from the post-medieval period, but due to a lack of excavated examples and lack of context this remains uncertain. One hemisphere of the weight is decorated with lines that radiate out from the centre, the other is decorated with a series of pellets. The weight is complete. The lead is a light whitish-grey colour.
