Description: | A crudely cast lead alloy spindle whorl. The upper side is slightly convex; the underside is flat. There is no decoration. Whorls of this shape were used from the Iron Age to the Early Medieval periods, but since the central hole is more than 8mm in diameter, it is more likely that it is Late Anglo-Saxon (Rogers, 2007, page 23-25. It is 30.21mm in diameter and 7.8mm thick. It weighs 39.47gm.
