Medieval lead alloy, probably pewter, weight in very poor condition. Now sub-square, but no original edge extant. On one face a large saltire in relief. >47mm across. Thickness 10mm. Weighing 3.143oz avoirdupois / 2.8650oz Troy. Perhaps more likely to have been for 4oz avoirdupois, when the amount of probable loss is taken into consideration.
