Description: | Cast lead spindle whorl dating from the Roman to Post-Medieval period, (43-1700). The object is circular in plan and slightly biconical. It has a large central circular perforation. Wide grooves radiate out from the perforation on one surface. The other surface is decorated with flattened pellets. Similar examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are typically dated broadly to the Medieval period c.1000-1500.
