A probable lead-alloy Post Medievavl weight. The piece is anthropomorphic with an oval-sectioned head and rectangular sectioned torso.

A lead weight of probable medieval to post-medieval date. The object is a crude, flattened, sub-square shape with a simple raised cross on one face dividing it into four sections. The surface is heavily corroded and there is damage in places. Weights like these were made locally on small scale from the Roman period onwards and as such are difficult to date precisely when not found in a secure, dated archaeological context. The form and decoration on this example suggests a medieval to post-medieval date. Length: 67.06mm, width: 63.83mm, thickness: 18.76mm
