status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete uniface lead token dating from the medieval or post medieval periods. Because of its condition, it is problematic to assess the token's original diameter. It has a length of 18.39mm, a width of 18.37mm, and a thickness of 3.39mm, concave on the plain face). 4.2g. The token has a border of large beading and a design of three raised lines, all eminating from a curved line joining them. This design could represent a scallop shell, and a possible function of a pilgrim badge could also be considered.
