Description: | A cast lead weight or spindle whorl of Roman or later date. The weight is oval shaped in plan, conical in form with flattened top and bottom surfaces and central circular perforation. To one side it has been mis-cast resulting in a prominent globular projection. It measures 23.66mm in length, 16.42mm in width, 15.89mm in height, and 25.25g in weight. This weight could potentially date as early as the Roman period, although a Medieval or Post-Medieval date is perhaps most likely. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
