Description: | A complete cast lead spindle whorl of probable medieval date. The spindle whorl is bi-conical with a large central perforation. The spindle whorl is decorated with a series of eight raised lines creating seven trapezoidal cells within which are three raised pellets.The metal is a dark whitish-grey colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 31.8mm in diameter, 10.3mm thick and weighs 40.4g.This type of decoration may indicate a medieval date, although a lack of contextual evidence from secure archaeological context make precise dating difficult.
