Description: | A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and biconical. The object has a central circular perforation with an internal diameter of 8.57mm. One face of the object has been decorated with a moulded star. The opposite face is decorated with a very worn decoration which is possibly in the form of a starburst. The object has a light brown patina.Similar examples of spindle whorls have been found in contexts from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period. However most are typically dated to the Medieval period.
