Description: | A possible cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl. In plan it is sub-circular and in profile is sub semi-circular. There is a central circular perforation which is 6.26mm diameter. The upper surface of the spindle whorl is decorated with four transverse ridges evenly spaced. The base is flat and undecorated. The surface of the spindle whorl is oxidised and therefore is a cream colour. It measures 27.6mm diameter and stands 10.61mm tall. It weighs 32.56g. It is difficult to date lead spindle whorls, but anywhere between the Roman and Medieval period.
