Lead alloy circular weight, probably from the Roman period. The weight has a rounded top and slightly concave back surface. On the front, in the lower half are the numbers 'IIII' which has most likely been cast or moulded in at the time of manufacture. The back has no decoration on but the surface is not smooth which could be due to use or poor casting. The edges are slightly raised and are irregular.

An annular lead weight, with a diameter of 29.7mm, a maximum thickness of 9.0mm, and a mass of 30g. The central perforation has a diameter of 10.8mm. It is unornamented, with a pale grey-white surface colour, and one face is poorly preserved. Such weights are difficult to date, and their precise function is uncertain, though they may have been used in fishing or weaving. This undecorated example may date to any time between the Roman and early postmedieval periods.

Irregular folded lead weight of unknown date (probably Roman – Post Medieval 50-1700 AD). The weight is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and profile. The upper edge has been pierced by a regular pierced hole (diameter: 6.2mm). The lower edge of the weight has been folded back upon itself which has created a much thicker lower edge; this presumably makes the weight hang evenly. There is no evidence of cast or incised decoration on the weight. The weight is a mid cream yellow colour with a relatively even patina. There are small areas of light grey active laminating corrosion; this is m…

A cubic weight of lead. Each of the weight's six faces is slightly concave, and three have central depressions or surface perforations. The weight weighs 40.4 g, and it is close to describing a perfect cube, as it measures 16.1mm x 16.3mm x 16.5mm. it is difficult to confidently ascertain the date or function of such a weight.
