Description: | Cast lead spindle whorl probably dating to the Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and biconical. The object has a large central circular perforation. One surface is decorated with a series of pellets and linear ridges which radiate out from the central perforation. The opposite surface is decorated with pellets in a circular band, slightly worn. The object has a yellowish white patina. Similar examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority is typically dated broadly to the medieval period c.1066-1500.
