Cast lead flat Medieval trade weight.
It is shield shaped in plan with rounded edges. The front of the weight would have had a fleur-de-lys in relief but this has mostly worn away, leaving only the very tip visible. There are some scratches on both faces, these are most likely plough damage.
This is a weight used on scales as there is no sign of an attachment loop.

Lead Post Medieval weight.
It is sub-rectangular in plan with the top end narrowing and being rounded and having a small circular perforation, possibly for hanging or attachment. The front face has an X scratched into it above a rectangle split into four uneven sections. The edges of the weight are uneven as are the surfaces. This appears to have been made quite simply and decorated after it has been cast.

Circular lead weight from the Post Medieval period.
It is circular in plan and flat. It has a central circular hole and then four circular holes around it, forming an X-shape if they were joined up. On the front the central hole had a groved circle around it which cuts through the four outer circles. In between each of the outer circles are two short grooved lines, radiating from the centre, forming a cross. On the reverse there are some traces of these lines but not to the same degree as on the front.

Cast lead weight from the Medieval- Post Medieval periods.
It is tear-drop shaped and the extended end has a circular cross section. There are some scratches on the surface, probably plough damage.
It weighed more than 200g and so my scales could not weigh it.
Generic weights such as this are difficult to date precisely when found as stray finds.

Lead weight, Post Medieval in date.
It is sub-rectangular in plan with rounded corners. It has a circular perforation at the top end for attachment. It has been suggested that this sort of weight could be used as fishing weights but they have many purposes.

Two lead weights, Post Medieval in date.
They are sub-rectangular in plan, being rounded and slightly narrowed at the top end. They each have a circular perforation at the top end, presumably for attachment. The base is flat but there is a concave rectangular slot underneath. It is thought this sort of weight was used for fishing but they could have many purposes.
Both weights were too heavy for my scales- which go up to 200g.
