Description: | A lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating from the medieval period. It is circular and plano-convex, much more steeply angled on one face. Both faces are decorated with raised radial lines with pellets between them. There is also raised median rib. The cenral hole is large and sub-circular, with more wear on the shallower face. Decorated whorls are common finds but few come from dated contexts, but they are believed to be medieval. This one has a well developed white patina.
