Medieval Lead spindle-whorl, biconical. decorated with moulded V's and pellets. Diameter 35mm, thickness 22mm, perforation diameter 10 - 11mm. Weighing 105.32g (small part missing from carination, old break). Similar to an example from an early 16th century context at the Augustinian Friary, Leicester, complete with its wooden spindle (Mellor and Pierce 1981, 139-40, fig.51 no.71). It is possible that the object was residual, but it is unlikely to have been very ancient when deposited in the context, in view of its completeness.
