Lead alloy toy tankard. Cast cylindrical model of a tankard, hollow, with an integrally cast moulded handle projecting from the mould line along one side. It is possible that other features were set opposite, where two surface irregularities may be either stubs from another handle or casting flaws. At least four rows of tiny moulded dots ascend the vessel wall, and it has a slightly expanded foot ring.

Lead alloy possible spoon fragment. A scrap of cast lead alloy with one flat face, one with a triangular chevroned ridge, and broken on all its edges. The ridged side is here interpreted as the reinforcement of the meeting of stem and bowl. A grey tint may suggest a relatively recent date for the object while a partly delaminated appearance is typical of homemade spoons.

Lead alloy spoon fragment. Cast handle from a teaspoon or similar, with moulded ovulos aligned down the centre line of its display side in a linear series which is continued by two or more stamped dots; bowl lost and terminal chipped.

Lead alloy ingot. A round ingot of plano-convex section which has set in a shallow hollow, probably in a fine sand bed. A sand bed would be the usual requirement for a scheme of professional lead working. The metal retains a grey tint pointing to a relatively recent date though its inflexibility suggests this to be a eutectic lead alloy rather than lead.

Lead alloy possible toy fragment. A cast object comprising a vertically grooved cylinder with blind basal aperture of diameter 4mm, with a D-shaped integrally cast loop or handle on one side and a nozzle with expanded end and blind hole of diameter 2mm projecting from the opposite side. To a modern viewer the form resembles a fire hydrant of American style with a large loop appended. It appears the object may have been intended to be mounted on a rod of some other material using the larger basal socket. It is uncertain what the object was when complete.
