Description: | Cast Lead alloy Spindle Whorl of probable Early Medieval to Post Medieval date, perhaps AD 500 onwards. It is small in size measuring 18.77mm diameter with an aperture diameter of 7.9mm. Weight 17.3mm, thickness 8.3mm. The whorl is of Coppergate form A2 (Walton Rogers (2007), page 25), having two flat faces of unequal size. The side walls are flattened in places and are only angled very slightly.It has been difficult to find a comparable example but SWYOR-64F403 and NLM-E377E7 looks similar in shape but not size.
