Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead spindle whorl or possibly weight. It is broadly conical with a flattened top and base with a slightly tapering circular hole running through the centre. It has received some slight abrasions at the top. It is 22.5 mm in diameter at the base, 15.5 mm at the top, it is 10 mm high and weighs 28.20 g; the hole is 7.5 mm in diameter at the base, 7 mm at the top. Plain spindle whorls and weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards and such plain and rough examples are hard to date precisely although most are late medieval - post-medieval.
