A lead alloy probable weight. The object is conical, and has a hole running vertically through the centre. There are several old dents on the side and base, and a recent scrape. Lead weights are imperfectly understood and cannot normally the attributed to a specific period. It is hoped that increased recording and further study of these objects will allow better understanding in the future. This one weighs 98.2g, which is not far off three ounces. The hole through this example casts some doubt on its function as a standing weight, yet the hole seems too narrow to allow use as a spindle…

County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy perforated weight, probably a medieval fishing weight. The weight is 58.2mm long, 20.3mm wide and 17.7mm thick. It weighs 68.3g. It is square with concave sides in section and tapers at both ends. One end extends into a simple oval suspension loop. The weight is deeply patinated and is a creamy white colour. Lead weights are very imperfectly understood currently. It is hoped that by recording them as often as possible, a large body of data that can be studied will be built up.

Object type: PROJECTILE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
2 iron 'balista-bolts' or possible spearheads. They are both square in section and narrow to a point. One has been treated and so has stopped corroding and is darker. This one has a narrower bottom end which would have fitted into a shaft. Iron is very hard to date out of context and so these cannot be assigned a date although from the other finds coming from this field it is likely they are post-medieval.

Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper-alloy wedge of unknown date. The wedge has a blunted edge at one end, and a rounded head at the opposite end. The rounded head appears to have attained this shape by repeated hammering. Just inside the head is the corroded remains of an iron collar, which appears to have been set into an inset groove 12mm in width and at least 1mm in depth, a small section of which is visible on one face. The object has an uneven surface, with some pitting on one face. However the patina is generally even. One of the broad faces of the wedge may be decorated with three incised…

A complete cast lead weight of unknown date. The weight is circular in plan with a flat top and base. There are no marks or decoration present on any surface and its shape suggests it was used as a measure. The metal is a light whitish-brown colour and is worn. It weighs 32.9g. Due to a lack of contextual evidence and any diagnostic features it is not possible to date this object any more closely and may date from the Roman to post-medieval period.
