Description: | Circular lead seal matrix, 26 mm in diameter and flat with a 4 mm wide pierced lug (broken at the hole) extending from the top. There is no decoration on the reverse. The central motif is a sunken triangle presumably intended as a shield; there is no charge (heraldic decoration) on the shield. The engraving around is shallow but well formed and clear; it reads + S' ROGER' FILII ADE (Seal of Roger son of Adam, or Adamson). There is a small space-filling design after the E of Ade. 13th century.
