Description: | Lead spindle Whorl. Cast discoid whorl of cylindrical form with a central moulded aperture of diameter 11mm. Moulded decoration of one side comprises four straight lines in low relief. This modest attempt at decoration - also a feature of another whorl reported from the vicinity (NLM-B557E8) - may commend a post-medieval rather than an earlier date. A brown paint-like coating covers what appears to be overall white patina; whether arising from soil conditions or deliberate treatment is unknown. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1500-1600.Diameter: 26.0mm, Thickness: 9.1mm, Weight: 32.44gms
