An incomplete Post Medieval lead alnage cloth seal. Originally forming part of a four-lobed seal, the surviving fragment consists of just two discs joined together: approximately 70 per cent of disc 3 and 90 per cent of disc 4.

At the other extremity, on disc 3, a remnant of the connecting strip that joined it to disc 2 survives and is slightly crumpled.
Disc 3 is stamped with a design which, by comparison with similar seals, might be a thist…

Fragment of a post medieval lead cloth seal. Part of a four-disc seal, the remaining section is the two outer disks of the conjoined pairs joined by the rivet from the back of one disk running through a hole in the other. The discs appear plaina nd the design would probably have been on the inner discs. It measures 15.9mm long by 11.2mm wide, 6.4 mm thick excluding the tab and weighs 3.97g.
See SOM-4AEAFC for a complete four-disc seal or similar form. Without the design it is not possibly to date this precisely but most are AD 1500-1800.
