An incomplete lead token of early Post-Medieval date. One quarter of the token is preserved, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. It has moulded decoration on the obverse face, the back face is flat and undecorated. The decoration comprises a central circular pellet within an inner border, surrounded by U-shaped and simple geometric (V-shaped?) motifs. The surviving fragment measures 10.78mm in length, 13.97mm in width, and weighs 1.53g. This is an incomplete lead token with parallels noted by Mitchiner and Skinner (1984: pl. 15 no. 9) indicating a probable 16th century AD date for the current example.
