Description: | A cast lead pendant of uncertain date. It is in the shape of a cross with arms that are rectangular in section, the uppermost arm being the longest and with a transverse oval shaped perforation for suspension. The arms at the sides are shorter and narrower and all surfaces are qworn but have the remains of a pale brown patina. It measures 29.87mm in length, 23.67mm in width, 6.13mm in thickness and 11.25g in weight.This is a simple lead pendant in the form of a cross. Similar crosses have been recorded through the PAS database (e.g. SF-5FC575 or SOMDOR1077) and suggest a probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date for the object, c.11th-17th centuries AD, although a slightly earlier date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
