Description: | Cast lead uniface disc dating to the Post-Medieval period. The upper face bears the symbols of the lion and the unicorn facing each other. Behind the lion's back are two raised pellets. The rear of the object is undecorated. There is some damage on the lion, possibly due to the plough. The lion and the unicorn are heraldic supporters appearing on the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The function of the object is uncertain however it may have been used as a weight or a decorative mount. It has a light brown patina.
