A complete lead spindle whorl dating to the medieval period, c. AD 1200 to 1500. The object is circular in plan with a diameter of 28.20 mm and a hole through the centre. It is biconvex in section. Both faces of the spindle whorl are decorated although in a different manner. One side features raised lines running from the hole to the edge of the object creating cells which each contain three raised pellets. The other side is slightly more complicated with narrower raised lines running from the hole to the edge of the object. In between there is a diagonal line creating small trian…

A complete lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval period, c. 1100-1500. The spindle whorl is circular in plan and biconvex in profile. Each side is decorated with a series of lines with either dots or hearts in each section although this decoration has worn away significantly. Spindle whorls such as this one were in use from the Roman period through to the post-medieval although many have been excavated from medieval contexts.

A complete lead alloy spindle whorl, possibly of medieval date. The object is circular in plan with a central, circular perforation. Both faces are flat although there is a slight bend in the object. There is decoration on both sides which consists of small isosceles triangles spaced around the perforation. These are a light brown colour which contrasts with the white patina on the rest of the object. Spindle whorls similar to this example were in use from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period and therefore it is difficult to assign a narrow date range of use.

A complete lead alloy spindle whorl, possibly of medieval date. The object is circular in plan with a circular central perforation. One side is clearly decorated with a series of dots which alternative to create a chevron design. The other side of the spindle whorl is much more worn which means any decoration is no longer visible. Spindle whorls of this type are used for a long period, from the Roman period through to the Post Medieval and so it is very difficult to assign a more specific date.

A complete cast lead alloy spindle whorl dating from the Roman period through to the Post Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and biconical. There is a central perforation which is more worn on the front than on the back. The back is quite worn although it is possible to see some outward radiating lines. The front of the spindle whorl is in better condition and it is possible to see a raised border around the outer edge of the object with raised outward radiating lines creating a chevron effect. A similar object can be seen on the PAS database: NCL-536B77 and DUR-11B1F5.

A complete lead spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval or early post medieval period, c. AD 1300 to 1600 . The object is circular in plan and biconvex with a circular perforation. Both faces are decorated, one with outward radiating raised lines and dots. The other face is more worn but appears to have similar decoration with the lines possibly forming triangles to contain the dots. There is a cut mark on the least worn face near the outer edge. Spindle whorls were in use from the Iron Age through to the post medieval period and are difficult to date due to their functional…
