Description: | A complete lead gaming piece of Post-Medieval date (AD 1600-1800). The object is a generally flat discoid with a raised outer boarder which respects the profile of the object. Both faces have a slightly pitted surface, most likely as a result of the manufacturing process. Both faces also have linear incised patterns which appear as a plain cross with inner circular boarder on both faces with one having the addition of a sub-circular second internal boarder.These objects are fairly un-diagnostic in date and function, however other such examples are attributed with a post-medieval date and understood to be gaming pieces.Similar examples can be seen on the Portable Antiquities Scheme Database: Unique ID: LVPL-2F73F6 and Unique ID: NLM-5E9E92The metal is a dark greenish brown in colour with a smooth un-corroded patina.
