An unidentified, copper alloy artefact in the form of an open loop with a ferrous extension on one side. The date is uncertain, but the condition of the metal makes a Post medieval date most likely. The loop is circular with a narrow (2mm) gap in the frame. The terminal on one side of the gap is worn to a blunt point, and the other terminal is square. It is unclear whether the gap is damage or intentional. The loop is circular in cross-section except at a point opposite the gap, where there is a curved depression in one face, making the hoop thinner. At one side of this depression is&n…

A discoid, cast lead artefact, probably a weight of uncertain date, Medieval to Post-Medieval, or an ingot. It is a circular disc of lead, thicker on one side. The top face is smooth and slightly concave. The sides and base are rougher, probably from being cast in sand. It is 30mm in diameter and 10.7mm thick. It weighs 65.9g. The mass does not easily equate to any standard system of weight measurement, so it is probably a bespoke weight or lead that has been melted into a makeshift ingot for ease of storage. It has a grey patina.

A spherical, cast lead perforated artefact of unknown date, probably Medieval to Post medieval, AD 1200 - 1800, probably used as a weight. The hole is wider at one end than the other (4.4mm diameter to 2.7mm diameter). It is 14.6mm in diameter and 12.5mm thick. It weighs 15.5g (0.54oz). It is slightly over mass to be a half ounce weight (which should be 14.1g), though it could be a half ounce in the Apothecaries' system. It is often suggested that objects of this shape are beads or net or line weights for fishing or birding.
