A complete lead-alloy weight dating from the Roman to Post Medieval period (43-1800 AD). In section the weight is broadly trapezoidal and is rectangular in plan. A hole has been punched through the apex to facilitate suspension and this shows signs of wear. Weights of this type are not completely understood and it could have been used for a variety of tasks. The weight is undecorated, but both ends are flat with rounded edges. The object has been well made and has a powdery white patina. Height: 44.4mm; width at base: 23.1mm; width at top: 11.7mm; thickness at base: 12.1mm; thick…

A complete lead-alloy weight dating from the medieval to Post Medieval periods (1100-1800AD). The object is circular in plan and has been pierced which shows some signs of wear from being suspended. The back of the object is smooth but the upper surface appears to be decorated with randomly placed pellets. Although it is possible that this is just a result of the casting. It is unlikely that this was used as a spindle whorl since the off-set piercing would cause the spindle to spin unevenly. It is more likely to be some form of hanging weight, or net weight. Diameter: 33.5mm; i…

Unidentified object of uncertain date, possibly mould fragment. The object is copper alloy and is broadly rectangular in both section and plan. The mould appears to be one half of whatever was being cast within it. The cavity comprises a half circular 46mm in diameter with a maximum thickness of 11mm. From the centre of this section extends a semi-circular shaft 19mm in diameter and extending to the edge of the fragment (ie. 28mm). The exterior of the object is very rough and pitted.

Unidentified object of unknown date. Copper alloy strip with three parallel grooves running the full length of the object on the outer face, and four on the inner face. These grooves appear to contain traces of black, or very dark blue, enamel. The upper edge of the object, and the two short ends, are smooth and slightly round and therefore appear to be a finished, undamaged edges. The long lower edge of the object, however, is slightly rough. It is unclear if this is a broken edge. If it is, the patination would suggest it is an old break. Both ends of the strip have been bent i…

Unidentified lead object in the form of a human finger, of uncertain date, possibly Roman to Post-medieval. The object represents the tip of a human index finger cut off at the first knuckle with both the nail and cuticle clearly defined. The object has a pitted surface and a powdery white patina. The base of the object (furthest from the fingertip) suggests molten metal runs, rather than a break, adding weight to the suggestion that this is some form of casting waste.

Unidentified copper alloy object, possibly a brooch, of uncertain date (c. 200-1700 AD), although most likely to be of post-medieval date. The object appears to be complete. It is triangular in plan and sub triangular in section. It has the form of a stylised arrow head and appears to depict three “feathers” from the flight of an arrow. There is a short projection at the base of the object which could represent the shaft of an arrow. The three fins, that make up the apparent “feathers” are decorated with short parallel. The reverse of the object is plain but there is …

Unidentified copper alloy object of unknown date. The object appears to be some sort of decorative finial or spout. The central part of the object is hollow and tapers from approximately 8mm diameter at the top to 21mm at the bottom. At the top of this central section, on the back, are the Roman numerals XXXI. Just below this is a rear-facing bifurcated projection with small pin-holes, again suggesting it could be attached to something. At the base of this central section there is a circular hole with an internal diameter of 5.2mm which may have held a rivet or nail to attach the o…
