A cast, lead alloy stamp of uncertain date, probably post-Medieval AD 1600-1800. The object is a rectangular cuboid in shape, measuring 22.61mm in length, 16.78mm in width, of 10.04mm thickness and weighing 2.2g. At one end, there is an illegible letter or design outlined with a sub-rectangular rim. Around the outside edge of the object, at the same end as the design, there is a 1.78mm line, whether for decoration or grip is unsure. This is potentially a personal stamp or seal but, as the design is very abraded, it is impossible to identify further.
