Description: | A lead spindle whorl of Early Medieval to Medieval date, about AD 850 - AD 1600. The whorl is discoidal with the flat faces of unequal size (Coppergate Type A2), a shape which was in use from the 6th century onwards, but the size of the central aperture suggests date from AD 850 onwards (Walton Rogers, 2007). The central circular aperture is 10.5mm. The larger face has two deep scratches across it. The whorl is 29.7mm diameter, 11mm thick and 48.85g.
