Description: | Plano-convex lead weight, 33 mm in diameter and 18 mm thick. In the centre is a circular perforation which flares from 11 mm in diameter at the domed top to 12 mm at the flat bottom. The lead has some cracks and crazing and may be an alloy. It weighs 78.45g (2.76 oz). Perhaps a spindle whorl, although it is very heavy; probably of medieval or post-medieval date.
