Description: | A cast lead spindle whorl, probably Medieval used for spinning wool. The weight is flattish and sub-circular, thicker in the centre and with a perforation running through the middle. The object is fairly flat on both sides, with decoration present in the form of raised pellets and lines. Similar spindle whorls have been found in medieval contexts including at Codnor Castle, Derbyshire; at the Austin Friary in Leicester (Mellor and Pearce, 1981) and the deserted medieval village of Thrislington (topsoil find; Austin 1989, 137, fig. 58.2). Also see several others on the PAS database, for example LANCUM-4FA054 and LANCUM-B0591B. The diameter is 24mm and the weight 28.03g.
