Description: | A lead spindle-whorl of possible Medieval date. It is a circular spindle whorl with a central circular hole. The surface has shallow grooves that appear to be the result of smoothing the object rather than a deliberate attempt at decoration. The object is covered in a milky white patina.Similar examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although the majority are typically dated broadly to the Medieval period c.1100-1500.The object is 21.26mm in diameter; 3.85mm thick and weighs 10.3g
