Description: | A cast lead alloy undecorated spindle whorl that is possibly Roman. Always difficult to date, spindle whorls appear right through to the post medieval, however, this whorl was found close to a single Roman coin and a second whorl of similar design and the characteristic 'deep' design may be indicative of Roman origin.The whorl has a convex bi-conical form and a central hole diameter of 7.25mm. The surface is now covered with a pale cream oxidation.
