Description: | A chalk spindle whorl of unknown date. The spindle is approximately half complete. It would have been roughly circular in plan and is plano-convex in section. It has a roughly circular hole drilled through the centre. Spindle whorls are very hard to date without any context, with examples known from prehistory through to the medieval and later periods. However it is more likely that this example is post-Roman in date, possibly dating from the early-medieval to medieval period, c. AD 410-1500.
