Description: | A lead spindle-whorl of Medieval date. It is a circular spindle whorl with a central circular hole. It is decorated with pellets and lines on both sides. One face of the object has been damaged, probably due to the plough. It has a light brown patina and has been crudely made.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.
