Description: | A cast lead disc of Unknown date. Diameter 78.0mm. maximum thickness, including the rim, 9.2mm. Weight 231.24g.The circular object is flat and undulatory. It has two centrally located sub-circular perforations. One of the perforations has a maximum diameter of 6.0mm and the other has a maximum diameter of 5.5mm. One face has a crude raised rim which is damaged in several places. The maximum thickness, excluding the rim, is 6.0mm. Forming a rough circle around the two central perforations on this face are seven sub-circular indentations of varying sizes, all of which are U-shaped in cross-section. These seven features may have been created as a result of a "stabbing" action rather than having been cast as such. The other face is plain and crudely bevelled around the edge. The bevelled surface is damaged in places.The artefact has a grey/buff appearance and is scuffed and scratched overall. All the damage appears to be old.
