A lead alloy weight. It has been formed by rolling a sub circular flat piece of lead alloy, possibly around a narrow diameter former. Hence the narrowing 'flap' of material can be seen along one side of the narrow weight, basicaly cylindrical in shape but wider in the centre than the ends. It has an even, light patina.Such weights were used over a long period of time, possibly as fishing weights, amongst other applications.
Dimensions: It is 34mm long and 15mm in diameter, the central hole is 5mm diameter, and it weighs 24.3g

A complete Medieval-Post Medieval cast lead weight, c. AD 1150-1600.
The weight is conical in shape, with a rounded top and a flat reverse. The sides have some scoring; it is unclear whether this is deliberate decoration or accidental markings. The apex has no suspension loop, although this may have been lost prior to deposition.

A complete lead-alloy trade weight.
The weight is disc shape with a raised rim that is bevelled on the inside. The surface is slightly concave and has a series of finely turned concentric grooves. There are two stamp marks to the face, but they are hard to make out. One looks to be the remnants of a portcullis, and the other the remnants of a monarch's insignia. The entire object has a relatively smooth white-grey patina. From its appearance and markings compared with other contemporary trade weights, it seems likely that it is a Georgian trade weight, but to the exact reign,…
