Description: | Three incomplete lead cloth seals, c16th or 17th century in date. 1: Disc one of a probable two-piece cloth seal: measuring 25.8mm in diameter and 7.12g in weight, this cloth seal has a fragment of the connecting strip surviving. The rivet can also be seen and has a cross-hatched design on it. 2: Disc one of a probable two-piece cloth seal: roughly half of this disc survives - the rest is missing owing to an old break. It measures 20.8mm in diameter and 3.25g in weight. There is a fragment of the connecting strip surviving. The outer face has a border of small protruding knops with lettering within. The letter 'P' can be seen. On the other face the remains of a rivet survive. 3: A circular lead disc of a possible cloth seal. It measures 17.4mm in diameter and 6.12g in weight, with an irregular profile owing to wear. An integral rivet (probably) projects from the centre of one face. It is impossible to be sure whether this disc came from a two or four disc cloth seal.
