A small disc shaped lead weight. There is a circular hole (dia. 6.6mm) in the centre of the weight; Bailey (1995, 30) suggests this is for transportation on a thong with other weights. This example is very regular in shape. Undecorated weights are given a general Roman to post medieval date. It measures 23.1mm x 4.9mm, and weighs 16.37g

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete post-medieval cast lead double-faced circular token. The token is decorated with the raised capital letters 'HB' on one side and a six-petalled flower with pellets in between on the other. Approximately one third of the token has broken off, losing the top of the 'H' and 'B', and two of the petals. Lead tokens can be produced easily and therefore difficult to date precisely but those with initials were mostly produced between 1500 and 1800 AD.
