Description: | A lead alloy object, possibly a weight, toy or maybe metal working debris. The object is an irregular disc which is fairly flat on both faces and has damaged edges. There are faint traces of incised lines on the edge which may have been a zigzag like a pastry jigger. Thee are deep scratches and damage on both faces. Near the centre of each face is a deep hole but they do not appear to join to perforate the plate. However, the object could have rotated on prongs resting in the hole and may be a wheel from a toy. The metal has a rough white patina. It is 27.8mm long, 25mm wide and 5.1mm thick. 21.6g. Owing to other material from the same area, a Post Medieval date is suggested.
