Description: | An incomplete cast lead alloy object, possibly a pendant or mount of uncertain date. It is cruciform with arms that are flat, rectangular in form and section, the lower arm now mostly missing due to old breaks. The entire object is undecorated but at the top of the upper arm is a central circular perforation, either to enable suspension or perhaps as a rivet hole. It measures 23.10mm in surviving length, 25.55mm in width, 2.49mm in thickness and 6.69g in weight.This is a simple lead pendant or mount 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 or later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
