Description: | A lead alloy spindle whorl of a shape used mainly in the Iron Age and Early Medieval period but known from all periods, so of uncertain date. The whorl has two flat faces of equal size and rounded edges. The central hole is 10.05mm in diameter, larger than many Iron Age spindle whorls, so a Roman to Post Medieval date is suggested. There is a slightly raised rim round the centre perforation on one face. There is no fastening hole in the side wall of the perforation. The whorl is grey in colour and has little patination.
