Description: | A worn and incomplete lead alloy button of late medieval date. The button is discoidal in plan and is decorated on the surface with moulded domes; a large dome in the centre is surrounded by 5 smaller domes (7 originally). Smaller dimples are visible around the edge of the button and between the domes. On the reverse of the button is the remains of a shank however this is almost completely absent. Similar buttons are recorded in Egan & Pritchard (1993) and are dated from c. AD 1400-1600.
