Cast copper alloy fragment of a Post-medieval drawer handle. The fragment that remains forms a T-shape. The horizontal bar is where it would have attached to the drawer.

The front face is decorated with a floral design. The back of the handle is plain. The handle has corrosion all over, the back especially has been affected. The handle has broken very early so only a small fragment remains.

Lead token, possibly with religious links. It is circular and has been pierced close to the edge. One side is decorated with an eight petalled flower in relief. The other side has a central seated figure with a smaller figure on either side- possibly a mother/Jesus and child.

Lead weight in the shape of an acorn. The weight appears complete but there is the remains of some iron corrosion at the wider end. Also at this end is a small hole. This could be the remains of an attachment. These weights have not been put into a typology so they are very hard to date precisely. This one probably dats to the Medieval or Post-Medieval periods.
