Description: | A lead alloy spindle whorl. The spindle whorl has a circular central perforation; from this hole the spindle whorl has a roughly D-shaped cross section with a flat base. It is undecorated. Undecorated spindle whorls are hard to date, and their use (in lead) spans the Roman to Medieval period. The shape of this spindle whorl is more reminiscent of those used in the Roman and Early-medieval periods. For similar see SWYOR-5A26C8.
