The obverse depicts a long cross with one pellet in each quarter (Powell type 12 and 14), similar in style to that used for Edwardian pennies. The reverse is undecorated.The token has a diameter of 18.2 mm and is 3.3 mm thick. It weighs 4.4 g.The token is a light grey to brown in colour with an even patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail and some damage.Lead tokens are a frequently occurring find, with a variety of different designs.
