A lead bi-conical spindle whorl of probable medieval to post medieval date. As ever, always difficult to be precise on date with no other evidence, thus it is possible that the date range may go back to the Roman. The whorl is undecorated and has a central hole diameter of 10.15mm. The surface is covered with a pale cream oxidation.

A small cast lead, undecorated bi-conical spindle whorl of unknown date. This example is a little different from the usual whorl, being much deeper in form with a central hole of 9.63mm. There is a small cut to one end that is modern and probably caused when excavating the piece which now has a pale cream lead oxide patina.

A small cast lead bi-conical spindle whorl of unknown date. This example is plain with no decorative features but with an interesting attribute consisting of a drilled hole to the centre of one side. It is possible that this modification was an attempt to prevent the weight falling off the spindle by the use of a ‘retaining pin’. It has a large central hole of 11.1mm. The surface has a pale cream lead oxide patina.
