Description: | A lead alloy spindle whorl. It is plano-convex with a large central perforation and is very worn. There is a cavity in the side wall of the central perforation. There are traces of raised lines and pellet on both faces, but there does not seem to have been a median ridge. The decoration suggests that the whorl is probably Medieval, but this object type is notoriously difficult to date.
