Description: | A cast lead object, possibly a token or similar object and of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is missing part of one side due to old breaks. The object is flat, disc shaped in form and with moulded decoration on the front face. This comprises an outer border with short diagonal strokes, followed by an inner circular border that contains a trefoil or quatrefoil motif with central pellet, its precise form uncertain due to old breaks. The back face of the object is flat, undecorated and has a transverse casting seam but no apparent means of attachment that might indicate usage as button, nummular brooch or similar item. It measures 22.03mm in diameter, 1.60mm in thickness and 2.63g in weight.This is a cast lead object, possibly a token similar to examples published by Mitchiner and Skinner (1983: pl. 9 nos. 12, 14; 1984: pl. 1-2). These might indicate a date range in the later Medieval period, c.14th-15th centuries AD, although a later date cannot be ruled out entirely.
