Description: | Post medieval lead alloy circular button with loop but missing large parts of its circumference. The button has a solid convex front with a moulded design of six raised triangles around a central raised pellet .Due to extensive damage only half of the button remains intact but it appears that the border was two decending ridges. The back is flat, and in the centre there is a complete, square simple looped shank.The button and loop are corroded and pitted. It is 24.5mm in length; 20.4mm in width; 7.2m in thickness excluding the loop; 17.3mm including the loop; and weighs 15.88gms.Buttons similar in style, although not identical in design, are illustrated in Read (2005:61) e.g. no.211 which has a similar shaped loop. He dates it to the 16th to the early 17th century AD.
