status: Awaiting validation 
A lead-alloy uniface token of Medieval to Post Medieval date. The token has a raised design of a stylised star or wheel-like symbol consisting of a central pellet and six arms formed of straight raised lines.
Lead tokens & weights carrying such simple designs are very difficult to date and were probably locally produced, they are therefore dated broadly c.1250-1800 pending better research into such artefacts.
