Description: | Cast lead ?spindle whorl. Circular in plan, dome shaped in cross-section and flat on the underside with a central perforation. Diameter 26.6mm, thickness 8.8mm, diameter of the perforation 11mm. On the underside is a concentric depression about mid-way between the edge of the perforation and the outer edge. This depression appears to have been caused by a casting anomaly rather than being functional or decorative. The sides of the perforation are parallel and appear to have been smoothed as a result of use. There is a possibility that this object may be a weight rather than a spindle whorl.
