Lead and copper alloy weight. Cast plano-convex oval or coffee-bean-shaped object with an embedded longitudinal copper alloy strip [of length 17.7mm and width 1.3mm] which appears on both the flat and convex or keeled sides of the object. There is the suspicion of a basal rim, which might be apt to a piece for a board game, as kindly suggested by the finder. Patinated. The neat and vulvate appearance might point to a Roman date. The flat base would permit use as a standing weight with a balance, possibly representing one quarter uncia. Inset objects are more usually associated with Vik…

Lead possible weight. Cast heater-shield-shaped plate with an indistinct symmetrical motif on its display side, possibly a lis or a crowned motif; patinated. The finder kindly suggests an identification as a pilgrim badge. The quasi-heraldic form, and perhaps the charge as well were it clearer, might both associate this with the 14th-century English vogue for heraldic motifs, which might be worn or carried by those with no noble connection or pretension. There is no apparent means of attachment. The mass equates to about one half of an averdepois ounce, thus respecting a system introdu…

Lead weight. Cast conical weight with a pinched apex with drilled hole for suspension, flat-based, patinated. A flat base would permit use as a standing weight in a scale pan. The approximate mass of this object recurs amongst lead weights of other forms from medieval London; its correspondence with the values of early medieval weights is less exact than would normally be deemed significant by this reporter, while the finder kindly suggests a Roman date and a function as a steelyard poise. The apical hole could also permit use as a line weight, also a probably medieval usage. Suggested…

Copper alloy and lead weight. Cast discoid weight with bevelled edge and raised rim, perhaps part of a nested set. It appears a central drilled hole of diameter 5.1mm was filled with lead in an attempt to amend or correct – the original casting has a small chip at its edge and is heavily worn – the mass of a weight representing one averdepois ounce. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1800

Copper alloy possible weight. Cast trapezoid flat-sided weight. The mass is near-equivalent to a single unit of 4.43gms as is thought to have governed silver bullion transactions in areas under Danish Viking control. Almost all the weights hitherto considered to relate to this system are made of lead, and most represent multiple units, though there is no reason why other materials could not be put to the same use. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 850-950

Lead weight. A small pellet of solidified lead melt which has set on a flat surface, with drilled hole of diameter 2.2mm, countersunk on one side, presumably to permit use as a fishing line weight.

Lead weight. Cast sub-discoid flat-sided disc with suggestion of a rim on either side, patinated. Form and surface condition could suggest a Roman date. However, the mass equates almost exactly with three Viking Age units of 4.07gms, as are thought to have been used in areas under Danish Viking influence to govern transactions in silver bullion, and perhaps for a period thereafter where such practices had become established. A weight made in the [then] familiar style of a Roman weight but observing Viking weights and measures might point to Anglo-Saxon involvement in its fabrication. S…

Lead possible weight. Cast oval plano-convex object, pierced with a possibly drilled hole on the site of a short cut at its edge, and with a broad cut across its flat surface; patinated. This might have been cast from scrap as a tiny ingot as the underside is rough and perhaps sanded but the hole suggests it was then put to some suspended use. Improvised use – perhaps for only a single operation – as a palm guard might equally be entertained. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Medieval, 43-1500

Lead weight. A small cast sub-cylindrical lead weight with a step at its mid-point and a tapered round-topped and drilled loop above the step at its top. The form and provision for suspension might point to use as a steelyard poise – a steelyard weight was reported along with this object – though a flat base would also permit use as a standing or scale pan weight. Patinated. Suggested date: possibly Roman, 43-410

Copper alloy weight. Viking weight in the shape of a cube with cut-off ends. Six dots stamped onto large surfaces, only one on smaller ones. Trace of silvering/tinnning. The mass may suggest this to represent one [underweight] unit of 4.07gms, as thought to have been favoured in areas under Danish influence. Suggested date: 900-1050

Lead weight, as kindly suggested by the finder. Cast rectangular plate with three bevelled edges and one cut edge, the latter being on one of the shorter sides. Five holes appear to have been pierced with the end of a handmade iron nail from the upper side where the bevel lies. The texture on the flat underside may suggest casting in a sand bed or a sanded mould, details of manufacture which might be expected in a professional episode of lead casting. Patinated. The mass might suggest this was intended to represent four [overweight] averdepois ounces and several round lead weights of a…

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight with a slightly lipped rim on its upper side and a central tapered piercing of width 2.9-2mm made from the underside. Patinated. The same mass is noted for a round weight from medieval London (Egan 1998, table 15) though the form and condition might be apt to an earlier date. Suggested date: possibly Late Medieval, 1350-1400

Lead weight. Small cast sub-conical weight with a longitudinal possibly pierced aperture of 5-3.5mm width. Three tiny sharp flanges project from the base and appear alongside what appears as tiny slits. Patinated overall. The finder kindly suggests a function as a line weight, which appears apt. These are usually ascribed to the medieval period, but a pot mend from the same site bears exactly the same surface patina and was ascribed to the Roman period. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Medieval, 43-1500
