Late medieval to post medieval cast uniface lead-alloy circular token of Powell Class 12. Thickness: 2 mm, diameter: 27 mm, weight: 14.41 grams.
The token is circular in form and rectangular in cross section. It is a 'Millstone' type, decorated on one face with a series of parallel ridges, arranged into four sets so they form chevrons radiating from the centre.
