Description: | A complete lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date, probably Medieval to post Medieval.The spindle whorl is circular in plan and bi-convex in section with a central sub-circular aperture. Both faces are decorated with a combination of raised zig-zag and chevron lines with single raised pellets in the spaces, overall the patterns are in a star formation.The dating of unstratified spindle whorls is very difficult and this one has been dated broadly as Medieval to Post Medieval c.1200-1800 pending better research on the dating of these items.Dimensions and weight not recorded.
