A complete lead token dating to the late Medieval to Post Medival period (c. AD 1400-1800). The token is circular in plan with the face bearing four raised dots in a square shape.

This would have passed through the hole in the vessel to secure the mend. The object has a creamy white patina. As Oakden (2017) states, 'pot mends of this form are found in both Roman and Medieval periods, as a common way to repair broken vessels. Without any remains of the pot it is impossible to date it more precisely'. Therefore, …
