Cast lead cylindrical weight, Medieval-Post Medieval in date. It is cylindrical with a large circular perforation all the way through. The ends are slightly rounded. The outer surface has some grooved lines, most likely caused by the plough as they are irregular and do not seem to be decoration.

Cast lead weight from the late Medieval- Post Medieval period. It is shield shaped in plan with slightly rounded and uneven edges. There is an incised design on the front, a crude privy mark. It takes the form of a W inside the outline of a purse (of late 15th-early 15th century type) and is probably the owners mark.

Large shield shaped lead weight, late Medieval- Post-Medieval in date. It is most likely to be a trade weight. It has decoration in relief on the front and is flat on the reverse. The decoration consists of a raised shield shape leaving a lower border. In this there is a central fleur-de-lis with a design above which is slightly unclear but could be a cross with longer horizontal arms than vertical ones. It was too heavy for my scales whcih go up to 200g.
