Lead Medieval spindle whorl. Circular in plan with a central circular perforation. It is biconical with cast decoration on both faces. One side has diagonal lines from the centre to the edge, creating triangular cells, inside of each of which there is a circular pellet. The other side is slightly less clear, almost looking like a repeating pattern of VIVIVI all the way around. There are examples of spindle whorls with writing and pseudo-writing on, this could be another one.

Cast lead Medieval spindle whorl, c.1100-1500 in date. It is circular in plan with a central circular perforation. It is biconical and would have had moulded decoration on both faces but this has now mainly worn away. The edges are also uneven due to wear and damage.

Cast lead Medieval spindle whorl. It is circular in plan with a central circular perforation. There is a raised border around the central perforation. It is flat and is decorated in relief on both faces. The decoration is worn, particularly on one face meaning it is difficult to see clearly. The left hand side on the image is the most worn and there appear to be some dots and lines. The right hand side has a pattern of V + V + V +.

Lead spindle whorl which has been cast, dating to the Medieval period. The spindle whorl is sub-circular in plan. It is biconical with an equatorial ridge and a central perforation which is set transversely. Both faces are decorated with different patterns. One face is split into sections by lines running from the central perforation to the ridge. Inside each section is a raised dot. The other face is more worn and the decoration is not as clear. It consists of some dots and possible lines but that is all that can be seen.

Lead bi-conical spindle whorl with a central circular perforation. It is circular in plan although there are some bits of corrosion attached to the edges. It is worn so the decoration cannot be seen very clearly. It has been decorated on both sides in relief with zig-zag lines and dots. Spindle whorls are hard to date precisely as they were used for a long period of time. Therefore this find has been dated broadly to the Medieval period.
