Description: | A lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date. The whorl is circular with a central hole that goes all the way through the object, and nearly straight sides. It is white in colour and has brown patches on it. It has a diameter of 20.30mm, thickness 6.04mm and a weight of 23.10g. A similar example is LEIC-8402A3. Whorls of this basic design were in use from the Iron Age onwards (Rogers, 2007, Cloth and Clothing in Early Anglo-Saxon England, p 25), but are usually impossible to date.
