Title
A cast lead weight.
Description
English: Circular lead-alloy button with four circular perforations (two blocked with soil). Diameter: 15.6mm, thickness: 2.4mm, weight: 0.8g

This was originally recorded as a fabric weight, but it has a circular recess (or boss) visible on both faces and is too small and light to function well as a weight for either curtain or skirt hems.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Cheshire East
