Description: | Plain lead spindle whorl covered in a cream patina. It is 'D' shaped in section. The central hole is 12.06mm in diameter and has more or less retained its circular shape. However, the outer surface of the object has suffered considerable damage so that one part of the circumference has been flattened possibly by an impact, while elsewhere a large part of the original surface has been lost through decay. In the middle of this area of decay there is what appears to be some sort of mineralisation; possibly something out of the soil which has accreted to the object in the area of decay.
