Description: | A cast lead alloy spindle whorl, of probable Early Medieval date. It is conical in shape and has a circular, central perforation with a diameter of 7.2mm. It is undecorated, but there is a deep gouge across the larger face. This is well patinated. It is 22.4mm in diameter and 8.7mm thick. It weighs 19.85gm.This shape can be classified as Coppergate type A1 which was used from the 6th century onwards. The size of the central perforation is also consistent with an Early Medieval date (Walton Rogers, page 24).
