Description: | A lead object probably a large post-medieval token. Mass: 39.13. Length: 46.6mm. Width: 41.9mm. Thickness: 4.8mm. The object is oval in plan with uniface decoration. The decoration consists of a central cross with arms which stretch towards the edges. Within two angles of the cross there are pellets. In the third angle there is a further cross. In the fourth angle there is a tear shaped design with a straight line adjoining the pointed end. The reverse is undecorated. The object has a light grey lightly pitted surface. Broadly similar designs utilising crosses and pellets are seen on some (generally smaller) post-medieval lead tokens (e.g. see Mitchiner and Skinner, 1984, "English tokens, c.1425 to 1672", although a large token is illustrated as number 52.
