A Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy uniface token of uncertain type, dating from c. AD 1250-1800. Although the token is extremely worn and damaged, it is possible to see three remaining pellets, which would have served as part of the decoration. It seems likely that there was a larger decoration involved.
