Description: | Lead alloyHarness Boss. Cast discoid plate with a cabled border and a plain central field. Lightly patinated with some spalling of its surfaces and fraying of its edge. The report on finds from Meols (Griffiths et al. 2007) suggests a mid 19th-century date for such objects, though dating ranging back to the 17th century has formerly been suggested. The grey colour of the display face indicates only light corrosion, so a Modern date is suggested in this case, circa 1840-1860. Diameter: 62.8mm, Thickness: 4.4mm, Weight: 78.95gms.
