Description: | A spindle whorl carved from a large animal bone. The object has a wide flattened based and tapers towards the flat top, giving it a conical shape. It has a hole drilled through the centre. The upper surface is rounded and has four lines scratched into it around the central hole, together forming a cross pattern. The bone is a light writish-yellow colour, smoothed with use and age. The whorl is possibly Roman in date, but is more likely to be Early-medieval in date.
