An iron core in copper-alloy casing Early Medieval weight, dating to AD 850-1066. It is spherical with two opposite flat faces. One face has a circular sunken line decorated with a series of punched annulets; the opposite flat face might have had the same decoration, but the iron corrosion has burts through the copper-alloy coating and covers large part of the surface. Cf. Rogerson (in EAA 74, 1995, p. 69, fig. 52, no. 136). See a parallel on PAS: NMS-8BB723 Diameter: 24.23 mm Height: 17.83 mm Weight: 40.51 g

A very worn and heavily restored late early-medieval barrel-shaped weight. It is biconical in form with flattened top and bottom surfaces. The weight has the remains of an iron core surrounded by a largely incomplete and heavily repaired/restored copper-alloy casing. On the flattened top and bottom surfaces the casing has stamped decoration. This comprises at least two rectilinear motifs formed from parallel transverse grooves from which at either and and at the centre extend short vertical and curvilinear strokes. These motifs appear almost like crowns stacked one above the other, al…

A complete unusual late early-medieval barrel-shaped weight. Measuring 23.3mm diameter and 18.5mm in height with a weight of 40.29g. This weight is made of iron with a copper-alloy casing, patches of corroded iron can now be seen through this casing. The flat ends of the weight appear to have stamped decoration on them consisting of two concentric circles of small circular motifs. There is a trace of someting else within these boarders but what it was is no longer visible due to wear and corroded iron. A very similar weight is illustrated in Biggs (1993, 14). He states tha…
