There is a central perforation which runs through the centre of the weight and is circular in plan. It is decorated with a pattern of raised dots but the whorl is corroded and the details are not clear. It has a diameter of 29.82mm, thickness 12.84mm, weight 52.41g. It is generally believed that these decorated spindle whorls date from the medieval period into the 16th century.
