Description: | This lead or lead alloy spindle whorl is most likely to be Post Medieval in origin. The shape is barrel-like with a large bore central hole. It is possible that it is a weight - use undetermined but possibly fishing-related. On one side, there is a clear casting seam running down it's length with what may be the remains of the casting sprue at the lower edge. The surface is oxidised grey/brown with some possible copper staining.
