Cast lead pendant dating from the Medieval to Post-Medieval period. The object is oval in plan and rectangular in cross-section. It is slightly curved in profile. The broken integral projection at the top of the object probably formed an attachment loop. The object has a raised moulded cross on the upper surface and is bordered by a moulded ridge. The reverse is plain. The edges of the object are damaged and it is quite crude. It is likely that this was a locally produced object rather than mass-produced.
