Description: | A moulded lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. The whorl has no decoration which is suggestive of a date and in the absence of an archaeological context dating of undecorated spindle whorls is problematic as they were in use from at least the Roman period until the post-medieval period. A broad date range for this object is therefore given. It measures 22.82 mm in diameter and 4.55 mm thick. It has a slightly off-centre perforation which measures 8 mm. The whorl weighs 13 grams. It has a white colour.
