Cast lead alloy circular uni-faced token. The obverse of the token has a raised design of a grid with two vertical and two horizontal lines. The reverse is blank. It is 16.3 mm in diameter, 3.0 mm thick and weighs 3.7 grams. Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally, they are therefore hard to date precisely and ones with simple designs like this could be Medieval or Post Medieval in date (1250-1850 AD).
