Description: | Cast lead spindle whorl dating from the Roman to Post-Medieval period, (43-1700). The object is sub-oval in plan and conical. The object has an irregular central perforation and all surfaces are uneven. The spindle whorl is undecorated and quite crudely made. One edge of the internal perforation has been damaged. 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. It has a mid grey patina.
