Description: | Incomplete cast lead circular unifaced token with a high tin content. The obverse of the token is badly worn, and the raised design is difficult to make out. It is probably a circle divided by diagonal lines into thirds. There is also one raised pellet. The reverse is blank. The token has one straight roken edge and chipping round all the sides probably due to the high tin content which made it friable. The token measures 23.3mm in diameter, 1.9mm thick and weighs 3.37 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally; they are therefore hard to date precisely and could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-1850 AD).
