A complete copper alloy coin weight dating to the Post Medieval period (AD 1760-1773). The weight is square in plan with 2 . 16 stamped on both faces.

An incomplete copper-alloy possibly Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) pendant or spangle, dating to AD 500-700.

Lead weight. Cast discoid weight, flattened on part of its edge, whether deliberately is uncertain. The letter W or M, in a rectangular panel and preceded or followed by a thick bar, in apparently recent style made up of crisp overlapping Vs, has been stamped thrice upon one flat side; patinated. Weights of this value do not appear amongst those reported from the London waterfront (Egan 1998, table 15, fig. 229). The apparent modernity of the stamped lettering is also at odds with the simple form and patinated surface of the weight. Suggested date: possibly Post-Medieval, 1500-1800. D…

Cast small long brooch with a cross-potent head with rounded ends to its three arms, defined by small U-shaped cut-outs near the springing of each arm, and each end being separated from the rest of the head plate by stamped features which appear as untidy doubled or superimposed chevrons within separate border lines. The effect achieved by this two-dimensional elaboration recalls the rounded knobs of some cruciform brooches. The bow continues with slightly divergent straight sides to a straight-ended foot. At least five ridges are scored across the upper part of t…
