Complete cast lead spindle whorl of probable post medieval date (c.AD1200-1700). The object is circular with two flat, undecorated faces. The outer edge is also flattened, creating an oval cross section. The perforation has an internal diameter of 6.5mm. Spindle whorls can be difficult to date as they were in use from the Roman period onwards and they change little in form or decoration.

Complete cast decorated lead spindle whorl of probable post medieval date (c.AD1200-1700). The object is plano-convex with a central perforation. One face is decorated with raised lip that circluated around the perforation, from this lip radiates a triangular pattern. The opposite face is flate and is well worn, a plain bands circulates the perforation from which radiates a motif of raised lines. The perforation has an internal diameter of 8.5mm. Decorated lead-alloy weights can be difficult to date as they are not commonly discovered in dateable contexts. Of the decorated s…

A lead spindle whorl of probable post-medieval date, though there is at the moment no comprehensive dating schema for whorls and so this can be considered a rough estimate. The object is of a compressed biconical shape, both surfaces being decorated with curvilinear and rectilinear geometric designs.
