An incomplete probable Post Medieval lead cloth seal dating to c. AD 1500-1700. The seal is sub-oval in plan, with two sub-oval lead faces pressed either side against a central lead face. There is a slightly raised border on each face where the seal was originally stamped, but the stamps are too degraded to distinguish any design or legend. Part of the lead face is missing on one of the faces, due to old damage. The find has a light cream patina.   Dimensions:  Length 28.0mm; Width 18.4mm; Thickness 7.6mm; Weight 19.28g.
