Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy button of probable post-medieval date. The plano-convex circular button measures 15.1mm in diameter by 9.1mm thick and weighs 4.1g. The front of the button is decorated with a central circular projection surrounded by six equally-spaced moulded spokes. In the centre of the reverse is an integrally cast perforated shank flanked by a casting line. A similar button from southern Somerset features in Read's 'Metal Buttons c. 900BC to c. AD1700' (2005, p. 63, no. 242).
