Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead spindle whorl of Late Iron Age to Roman date, 400 BC - AD 410. It is of Walton Roger's form B2, having two flat faces and rounded sides. The central hole is roughly circular and has an internal diameter of 5.4mm. The whorl has an overall white patina. Dimensions: Height 5.8mm, diameter 17.5mm, internal diameter 5.4mm, weight 9.49g. Form B2 whorls are thought to date from the late Iron Age onwards to the 12th century, but the small size of the perforation makes it more likely that this one is Iron Age or Roman.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead spindle whorl dating from the Early Medieval period, AD 700 - 850. It is of Walton Rogers form A2, having two flat faces and curved sides. It is undecorated and the central perforation has a diameter of 6.28mm.  Walton Rogers suggests that Form A2 whorls start in the AD 700s, and that those with a central perforation of 6-9mm, as here, are more likely to be Early to Mid Saxon, so a middle Saxon date is suggested. Dimensions: Height 8.3mm, diameter at base 17.2mm, weight 11.21g. Diameter of central perforation 6.28mm.
