Description: | A lead spindle whorl dating from the Medieval period. It is circular in shape with a roughly made hole in the middle. It is decorated with irregularly placed dots and radial lines in relief on both faces and the lead is white/brownish in colour. There is a depression in one side of the central hole, possibly to fix the whorl to the spindle. It has a diameter of 23.24mm, thickness 9.60mm, weight 27.08g. It is believed that whorls decorated in this style are Medieval in date.
