A lead complete possible Viking gaming piece. It is hollow and oval in cross-section, it measures 15.8mm in height and 12.4mm in base width and 8.3mm in base thickness. It tapers towards its upper terminal end, which has three rounded projections. A similar, though solid, possible gaming piece has been found at Long melford, Suffolk see SF-C01997, and a hollow very simliar example has also been found close to this example at Little Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire, see SF-GF5256. An alternative function of these objects would have been as weights rather than gaming pieces.
