The face is circular and 17.6mm in diameter (some of the edge is damaged) and 2.7mm thick. It weighs 3.75g.The face is decorated with a central punch 1.5mm in diameter and surrounding it two incised concentric rings, one of which flanks the edge of the button.The shank measures 9x8x3mm and is pierced near the end with a 4mm diameter hole.Comparable with an example in the Wiltshire Heritage Museum, and also with similar drilled shanks from possible 15th century to 17th century contexts (Read 2005 p.11).
