Description: | Lead alloy possible whistle fragment, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast terminal from a whistle, with a domed end with a round suspension loop on a short stalk at its apex, and with a basal collar. A clear mould line is visible on the outside of the object. The external surface is thickly patinated but the interior is only very lightly patinated, which may suggest that this object became detached from the rest after the whistle was lost or deposited intact. Lightly squashed. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1750-1850.Length: 14.6mm, Diameter: c.12mm, Thickness: 1.2mm, Weight: 2.93gms.
