Description: | This is most probably a small spindle whorl that may perhaps be as early as Roman or as late as the post medieval. As ever, these artefacts are difficult to date, in this case the casting is poorly executed with some attempt to have been a bi-conical whorl. The surface is also heavily pitted, perhaps indicative of a poor casting technique or mould material. The surface is oxidised to a grey/white. The central hole is 9.33mm in diameter and there is no sign of surface decoration.
