A lead cloth seal fragment. It is one disc only, and is stamped with a Tudor rose, with initials C and R on either side, and probably a crown over, all within a circle.

Examples with 'crown over rose' from the late fifteenth to sixteenth centuries are recorded by Egan (1995, pp26, 163, fig.12, nos 14-16) who notes that the device is also known for seals from other countries.
