Lead conical spindle whorl of uncertain date (c. 43 - 1700 AD). The object is broadly oval in plan, with a flat bottom face and curved upper face, resulting in a triangular section. There is a circular aperture positioned centrally. The object has a light-brown patina. It is 20.80mm in diameter and 10.51mm in thickness. It weighs 17.73g.

It is not possible, therefore, to assign a more precise date…
