Description: | A cast lead gaming piece of probable Early-Medieval/Anglo-Scandinavian date. It is conical in shape, solid, and has four globular projections evenly spaced around the sides. The pointed tip of the cone also appears slightly globular in form. It measures 13.59mm in height, 12.99mm in diameter at base, and weighs 9.71g. Similar lead gaming pieces have been identified through the Portable Antiquities Scheme (see for example SF-C01997, SF-6F5256, SF-6F7361, SF-1CB627, LIN-7D8F62 or WMID-669380). These suggest a possible date range in the 9th-11th centuries AD, c.850-1066 AD.
