A large and incomplete lead alloy token or tally of medieval or early-post-medeival date. The token is unifaced and has an outermost border of short lines within two concentric lines, with a pelleted field below. The centre of the token has a larger design, possibly of a flower however the wear and fragmentary condition of the token makes it hard to see. The reverse is plain and undecorated. Tokem with this style of border are sometimes considered to be c. 16th century in date - the size would suggest a date earlier than the 17th century, so a date of c. AD 1300-1600 seem reasonable.
