Description: | Complete cast lead alloy probable weight or possible large token. The item is sub-circular in plan with slightly rounded sides and an irregular base. The front of the weight has a raised linear design possibly intended to be a star or wheel. As the weight of the item is close to the 1/2 oz measurement it seems more likely that this item is a weight than a token.Simple lead objects are notoriously difficult to date and the item is therefore dated broadly from the later Medieval to post Medieval period, c.1400-1700.Dimensions: Diameter 22.8mm, thickness 4.9mm , weight 13.9g (1/2 oz).
