A lead spindle whorl of medieval to Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1800.  The spindle whorl is bi-conical with a central perforation running through it. One surface is decorated with eight irregularly spaced raised lines with unevenly spaced raised pellets at intervals. The reverse is more worn which makes further identification of decoration difficult. It appears that the reverse was also decorated with unevenly spaced pellets although any possible raised line decoration was either not present or has worn away. An area from the edge of the spindle whorl, approximately 6.6m…
