A post medieval crudely cast lead alloy object, probably intended for use as a loom weight or spindle whorl, dating to c. AD 1450 - 1600. The object broadly resembles Walton Rodgers form A1 or A2, being sub-circular in plan with one flat face and tapering curved sides. This creates an uneven cone, in plan it is assymetrical due to sprue on one side. The central perforation is countersunk on both faces, with a resulting constriction in diameter; 9 mm narrowing to 6 mm. There are traces of moulded decoration in the form of lines and chevrons on the…
