Description: | A complete cast lead die or gaming piece of possible Post-Medieval date, c.1500-1800. The piece consists of a cube, seemingly of equal widths and lengths. It has six faces, of which three, as represented in the photograph, have been marked with faint incised dots to represent the numerical values of 1, 2 & 4. These have been crudely notched into the surface suggesting the objects use as a die was not its original function. The die is pale grey in colour. Recorded at Combermere Abbey Rally in 2008.
