Description: | Complete cast lead alloy spindle whorl or weight of another unknown use. The whorl is circular in plan with rounded outer edges and a central circular perforation with straight edges. Cast lead alloy whorls are difficult to date with any certainty and are known to have been in use from Roman to post Medieval times. due to the lack of decoration it is not possible to narrow the date of this whorl with confidence although it is most likely to be later Medieval to early post Medieval (AD. c.1300-1700).
