Description: | A small and plain lead alloy probably spindle whorl of uncertain date. If this is a spindle whorl, it is of Coppergate Form B which dates from the Iron Age to Medieval periods. The whorl is sub circular and rectangular in section. It has a circular, not quite central hole with straight sides. The face of the whorl is slightly raised round the hole on both faces. The lead has a deep white patina. If it is not a whorl, it would be a washer of some sort, or a perforated weight, maybe for fishing.
