Double-conical lead weight with central vertical perforation, 8.8mm wide. The weight is decorated in high-relief on both sides with a zig-zag line, with a pellet in each angle. This kind of lead weight is a very frequent metal-detecting find, especially on ploughed and pasture land. There is some archaeological evidence for these lead weights to have been used as spindle whorls in the 16th/17th century (pers. comm. Dr Kevin Leahy), but has been suggested that they could also have been used as net sinkers, fishing weights or weight for traps at a somewhat later date.

A small weight made of lead. The weight is triangular, with rounded corners, and it is flat. The weight is undecorated. The lead has gone a light greyish-white colour. Some damage has occurred to the weight as a result of being hit by the plough, as several scratches and scars are evident on the surface of the weight. This weight is possibly medieval, but most probably post-medieval in date. Due to that fact that so few lead weights have been found in archaeological contexts, only a very broad date range can be allocated.

A cast lead shield-shaped trader's weight of late medieval to early post-medieval date with a central raised crowned fleur-de-lis design and a wide, flat border. Lead shield-shaped weights of varying qualities of workmanship and numerous designs have been in use over a long period.

Although this weight may be earlier than this, there is no firm evidence as to when these weights with crowned fleur-de-lis were in use. Large numbers of weights with the crowned fleur-de-lis are found in the York area, many o…
