Description: | Lead Spindle Whorl. Cast discoid whorl with central (though appearing off-centre from one side this is a result of damage) moulded aperture of diameter 9.5mm, Walton Rogers form B. Patinated overall. The form, which is known in Yorkshire from the 8th century but only common from the later 10th century, and the large aperture, may together indicate an Anglo-Scandinavian date. The mass indicates this could have been used to spin a yarn. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 950-1050.Diameter: 25.3mm, Thickness: 7.3mm, Weight: 28.34gms.
