An unidentified object which is a possible fragment from a lead vessel or pot of uncertain date. The fragment is irregular but broadly triangulat in shape and sub oval in plan. One surface is convex and the other slightly convex. It is slightly thicker at one end, with old and worn breaks on the non "rim" sides. The rim itself is thicker than the rest of the fragment suggesting that it comes from a curved vessel. The outer surface has a coarse surface with a grey coloration with occasional brown and lighter grey patches across the…

Unidentified lead artefact of unknown date.  Cast in one piece, the artefact comprises a solid sub-circular flattened sphere with integral casting sprue with a flared end. The artefact has a central linear casting seam, and appears to have been miscast resulting in the misalignment of both hemispheres.  Possibly this artefact is an unfinished attempt at casting a weight, shot or other ingot.  Quantity: 1 Length: 44.52 mm Width: 36.03 mm Thickness: 23.39 mm Weight: 154 g

A lead weight. The weight is circular in form and engraved with ‘IIII’ on one face. The reverse has a single linear line running across the face but is otherwise plain. It has been suggested that leads weights incised with a form of number may represent the weight of the weight in ounces. If this example was meant to be four ounces, it is underweight at 3.6 ounces. Illegal lead weights are notoriously difficult to date as they bear no official mark.

The find is the reverse half of a small figure. It consists of a full person as viewed from behind with very short legs and arms ending at the elbow.  This may be due to damage or erosion; however, it is possible that the figure may represent someone kneeling with their arms in front of them. No detail is visible on the figure. The reverse is flat, suggesting the figure may have been mounted to a larger object (although no attachment points are visible).   It is difficult to determine a function or period for the object, and no direct comparable examples can be found.
