A crudely manufactured lead alloy token of possible later Roman date (c. AD 250-409). The token is bifacial with one side apparently depicting the bust of a person with radiate style crown or a bird (Bill Dalzell pers. comm.) while the other may depict the right facing head of a person with large nose. The outer borders of the token are raised. For similar see Leaden Tokens Telegraph Feb 2007 page 3 fig 15-16.
This has been noted as an interesting find by the recorder.
