A lead spindle-whorl of Medieval date (c. AD1200-1500). It is a circular spindle whorl with a central circular hole. Both sides are very worn but appear to be decorated with pellets. Lead weights like these are common finds, but only rarely from excavated contexts which is why date and origin are difficult to pinpoint. Decorated lead-alloy weights are very rare finds in excavations, but are often found by metal detectorists. They are usually biconical or cylindrical in shape and are decorated on both faces with raised dots and radiating lines or zig-zag ribs. They have been found i…
