A cast lead token of early Post-Medieval date. It is flat and circular in form with eight radiating lines on the front face, creating eight triangular segments each containing a single pellet. This token is similar to early Post-Medieval examples (see Mitchiner and Skinner, 1984: pl. 11 no. 42, pl. 14 no. 80) and probably dates to between the 16th and 17th centuries AD.
