Description: | Two complete cast lead alloy cylinders, probably net sinkers or weights of Medieval to Post Medieval date, c. 1400-1750 AD. The two weights are similar in style and size and consist of cylindrical beads with a cylindrical perforation (approximately 4.8 mm diameter) running through the centre of the object. Its maximum diameter is at its middle and it narrows symmetrically from either side. Popularly recorded as line or net sinkers, this type of weight is difficult to date specifically as they were easy to manufacture and the same style was used throughout a wide period of time. Dimensions for both are very similar: (Top) 21 mm long, 13 mm diameter, 15.6 grams; (Bottom) 19 mm long, 12 mm diameter, 15.1 grams.
