Late medieval to post medieval cast uniface lead-alloy circular token of Powell Class 12. It is decorated on one side with a raised equal armed cross with the quarters filled with multiple concentric right angled lines. Designs of this type are often thought to copy millstones.
Lead tokens had a wide variety of uses and were made locally. They are therefore hard to date precisely and examples with simple designs could be medieval to late post medieval in date (c. AD 1250-1800).
