A complete cast lead object, likely a weight or a uniface token, of post Medieval date (c.1500-1850). The object is circular in plan (diameter 32mm) with max thickness of 6.4mm. The obverse of the object has moulded letters I S (or S I) with a circular moulding between. Traces of a further moulded circumferential design preserve above and below the central legend, and may have been a further legend, but cannot be discerned due to surface corrosion.
