Likely to be a cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. It is slightly conical in form and sub-circular in plan. There is a significant circular hole at its centre. The base is smooth but the upper surface is pocked. The precise function is uncertain as it could conceivably be a weight or line sinker. Similarly, there is little diagnostic with which to date it meaning that it could date from the Roman period onwards. Similar, although cruder and undecorated, to SF-EFBE42. It measures 27.61mm in diameter, 7.75mm in thickness and weighs 24.72g.
