A cast lead spindle whorl of Walton Rogers form B2 probably dating from the Early Medieval period, about AD 700 - 850. It has two flat faces of the same size, and curved sides.  It is 25.4mm in diameter and 13.7mm thick with a central perforation of internal diameter 6mm. It weighs 44.7g. Walton Rogers suggests that form B2 whorls appear in York in the 700s, and a central diameter of 6-9mm suggests a date in the early to mid Saxon period.
