Description: | An incomplete cast lead cloth seal of probable Post-Medieval date. Only one disc of the seal survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The surviving face depicts a portcullis with the remains of lettering around it, particularly visible at the top, but precisely what the legend originally read remains uncertain due to old breaks. The remains of a possible connecting strip are visible at one end of the disc, with a possible rivet on the undecorated back face. The entire object measures 15.92mm in length, 13.56mm in width, 2.46mm in thickness, and 1.97g in weight.This is an incomplete lead cloth seal, possibly associated with an individual town or instead part of an alnage seal. It is of probable Post-Medieval date, c.16th-17th centuries AD.
