Three lead-alloy uniface tokens of Medieval to Post Medieval date. All three tokens carry the same raised design of a sun-like symbol consisting of an outer eleven-pointed star with the triangular points set around a circle and within this circle a second smaller circle with with a six pointed star at the centre with a central raised pellet. The section between the two circles of the design is decorated with raised diagonals forming a pattern of triangles.
Lead tokens & weights carrying such simple design are very difficult to date and were proabbly locally produced, they are therefore dated broadly c.1250-1800 pending better research into such artefacts.
