Lead spindle whorl. Cast cylindrical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 11.2mm, either miscast or more probably part-melted, Walton Rogers form B. Eight wide radial cuts or grooves appear on one side of the whorl: this texture or decoration has recently been noted as a most unusual feature of another whorl reported recently from the immediate vicinity. The spindle hole size could admit an Anglo-Scandinavian date. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 1000-1100

Lead possible net sinker. A weight made by rolling a sub-rectangular scrap of cast sheet lead, probably achieving a slightly overlapping seam though this is now disrupted, perhaps by removal of the object from the selvedge of a net or, given that it is lighter than many formal parallels, from a fishing line, as is kindly suggested by the finder. At nearby Flixborough, tubular lead net weights were dated to the Middle Saxon period. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval, 700-850

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Doncaster
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead spindle whorl dating from the Early Medieval period, about AD 500 - 850, of Walton Rogers form A1 with.one flat face and one domed.
Thickness: 10.05mm
Weight: 36.17g
Diameter: 25.18mm
Diameter of central aperture: 6.27mm
Spindle whorls of this type are illustrated in Walton Rogers, 2007, Cloth and Clothing in early Anglo-Saxon England, page 25. Form A1 whorls are thought to date from AD 500 - 1000, but the size of the central hole suggests an early to mid Saxon date.

Lead probable spindle whorl. Cast cylindrical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 9mm, Walton Rogers form B. Eight deep symmetrically distributed cuts radiate from the hole on the lower side [as cast – perhaps the upper side as used]. Though tidy enough to be deemed decoration, such features are actually rare on whorls of this simple form, and so many such cuts are perhaps an unparalleled feature. They might serve as tying notches, though a primary use as a whorl or a secondary use as a fishing line would usually require only one tying notch. Patinated. The spindle …
