A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating to the medieval period, (1100-1500AD). The object is sub-circular in plan and bi-conical. The object has a central circular perforation with an internal diameter of 9.85mm. Each face is decorated with a series of moulded pellets divided by ridges. The pellets are large and raised measuring c.4.08mm in diameter. Six pellets, one of which is missing on one face, decorate each face of the object.
Similar examples of spindle whorls have been found in contexts dating from the Roman through to the post-medieval period; however most are dated to the medieval period. The object has a mid-brown patina.
