Cast lead alloy weight, possibly a spindle whorl or loom weight of unknown date. The weight is sub-circular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile; in cross section it is an irregular circle. Through the centre is a sub-circular hole (13.5mm in diameter). The surface of the weight is very corroded but on one side there is a small indentation which may be the remains of the suspension element. There is no sign of decoration . The lead alloy has a grey/brown patina over much of its surface and is extremely worn. Spindle whorls and loom weights of simple design were cast easily throughou…

A complete cast lead alloy large standing weight of probably Medieval or Post Medieval date (c. 1200-1700 AD). The weight is conical in shape and circular in cross-section with a large integral handle at the top through which there is a small central hole. The weight measures 42.8mm high, 27.7mm diameter and weighs 165 grams. Lead weights were used throughout a large span of time and were generally easy to manufacture; therefore, they are difficult to date outside of secure archaeological contexts. This style of standing weight seems to have been used most frequently within the Med…

A worn lead-alloy two disc cloth seal of probable Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1800).

The exterior edges of this cloth seal are bent and worn and this artefact has a light grey-white colour overall. It meas…

A Medieval or Post Medieval uniface lead alloy token, c. 1250-1800 AD. The token is in excellent condition and decorated with a finely-detailed sexfoil flower, a central pellet and one pellet spaced evenly between each petal. There is a raised rim around the circumference of the token. The reverse is undecorated. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore difficult to date precisely and tokens with simple designs could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-1800 AD).

A post-medieval cast lead alloy token, c. 1550 - 1800. One side of the token bears the relief-moulded uppercase letters 'HW' above what appears to be the number 26. The other side has a stamped letter 'F' in negative relief. Lead tokens were easy to manufacture and widely distributed; they are therefore difficult to date precisely, but those with letters and accompanying numbers are generally thought to date to the post-Medieval period. This is the second of two nearly identical tokens found in the same findspot area; this example is larger than the other.

A very worn cast lead cloth seal of probable post-Medieval date. The object comprises two flat circular discs joined at the top by a rectangular connecting strip and held together by an integral rivet that extends from disc one through the front face of disc two, where it is flattened. It is only possible to see what looks like an 'I' or 'T' on one face. This is a worn lead cloth seal of uncertain type. The worn legend is unfortunately too poorly preserved to enable a close identification of the full original text, a problem also encountered with the central motif. It is entirely …

A Medieval or Post Medieval cast lead alloy circular uniface token. Powell Type 30. The token is decorated on one side with five pellets arranged with four forming corners of a square with the fifth pellet roughly in the centre. The reverse surface is flat and undecorated. Lead and its alloys are very easy to work and tokens were often locally produced; therefore they are difficult to date and tokens with simple designs had considerable longevity. There are dated generally from c. 1250-1800 AD.

A worn and corroded Post Medieval cast lead alloy uniface token. Powell Type 2. The token is sub-circular in plan and on the front face are the initials 'EE'; with the first 'E' in retrograde and the second conventionally oriented. Alternatively the initials could read IE where the 'I' has a short central transverse ligament. The reverse side is plain with a raised periphery. Lead tokens of this form have a wide date range but those with initials generally date from c. 1550-1800 AD.

A Post Medieval cast lead alloy bi-faced token, dating to c. 1500-1850 AD. Due to the wear on both surfaces of the token, it is difficult to determine what is depicted and hence, a positive identification of Powell Type is unlikely. This token seems to have a raised initial 'H' or possibly a number '11' on one face and a curvilinear raised decoration on the other. It measures 17.3 mm in diameter, 2.3 mm thick, and weighs 3.28 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely.

There is a rectangular section missing from the 10 o'clock position on this face. On the reverse side there is an integral stub which has probably been pushed through the cloth and then flattened back on itself to fasten like a rivet. The impressed surface is showing evidence of a design in the form of three strands and several circular depressions. A similar seal is illustrated and described in…
