This object is probably a cast lead token. The earlier tokens were made from pewter but the lead tokens are normally associated with the 17th – 18th centuries.

A cast lead-alloy weight, probably home-made/unofficial, dating from the post-medieval or early modern period, i.e. c. AD1600-1800. The reverse is plain and shows that the weight was roughly cast whilst the obverse displays lettering withing two concentric circles. It is mirror-writing and it is not possible to make out the writing in the outer circle. However, the central writing reads '1/2lb'. It is very similar to a lead weight recorded under LANCUM-1440E4. Dimensions: Diameter: 47mm, thickness: 4mm and weight: 82.74g.

Possibly a fragment of lead mould for a pottery vessel. The decoration shows a lined edge with two curved lines and a possible leaf/flower pattern inside.
