Treasure Trove objects from Pitgrudy Field 4 found by metal detection and acquired by the Inverness Museum & Art Gallery. A flawed casting of a decorated spindle whorl, it presumably would have been melted down to be re-used. This design of tiny raised pellets was popular in the medieval period on both whorls and lead tokens. Dim: dia: 32 mm, hole 0.93mm, wt: 23.5g..© Inverness Museum Inverness Museum Catalogue 2008.036.020
