Description: | A lead alloy probable spindle whorl of uncertain date, about AD 500 - 1500. It fits into Coppergate type A1 which are used from the 6th century onwards (Walton Rogers, 2007). It is a plano-convex disc with a large, tapering, and not very central hole of 7.7mm diameter on the convex face and 10.5mm on the other face. The sides are uneven, perhaps damaged. The whorl is 22.1mm diameter, 6.3mm thick and 11.39g. It has a white patina surviving places, but is mostly mid grey.
