Description: | A complete lead alloy spindle whorl, possibly of medieval date.The object is circular in plan with a circular central perforation. One side is clearly decorated with a series of dots which alternative to create a chevron design. The other side of the spindle whorl is much more worn which means any decoration is no longer visible.Spindle whorls of this type are used for a long period, from the Roman period through to the Post Medieval and so it is very difficult to assign a more specific date.
