Description: | Cast lead circular unifaced token. The token has a raised design of a semicircular shape (flat based and domed top) filled with cross hatching and a short vertical line protruding from the top. There appears to be a horizontal line with short verticals running down from it below the main shape although this is unclear due to bending of the edge. It is possibly the design of a basketwork beehive (bee skep) or some other basketwork item. The reverse is blank. It is 20.1mm in diameter, 4.6mm thick and weighs 10.10 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely and this example could be Medieval or Post Medieval, 1250-1850 AD.
