A large lead alloy unifaced token, or possibly a gaming piece, of the post-medieval period. The token has a large horse (possibly with rider?) advancing left on one face, while the other face is blank. The horse has wide, heavy feet, and may be a heavy horse such as a Shire. There is a small hole in the token where the possible head of the rider is but it is not possible to say whether this was intentional or is the result of damage. This token was found in a field with several others, and is likely to date to the 17th or more likely the 18th century AD.
