Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Spindle whorl made from some kind of stone, probably sandstone but possibly lava. It is globular, with its widest point (35 mm in diameter) not at the midpoint but three-fifths of the way towards one end. It measures 25 mm from one end of the central circular perforation to the other, and the perforation flares from 7 mm at the more pointed end to 9 mm at the more rounded end. There are five grooves around the circumference which were probably made on a lathe. Spindle whorls are difficult to date, but most of those on middle and late Anglo-Saxon sites have lathe-turned grooved deco…

Object type: LOOMWEIGHT
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Warwickshire
Workflow stage: Published
Only half of the weight remains. It is a biconical shape, however one face is slightly more flat than the other. There is a central perforation that has walls which are very smooth and slightly wider at the top than the bottom, the bottom being the more flat base. This perforation is incomplete due to the object being incomplete. The material the object has been made from is a tough, fine-grained, laminated cream coloured limestone with a few globular calcite inclusions. Dr Kevin Leahy writes: the biconical shape of this fragment suggests a Middle Anglo-Saxon date.

Workflow stage: Published
Incomplete worked sandstone bowl probably of Early Medieval or Medieval date. The exterior of the bowl, including the base, is sub-circular with a varying wall thickness of between 95 and 160mm. The interior and exterior of the bowl have been shaped by pecking. It is possible the bowl may have been a crudely worked font, but is more likely to have been utilised for some domestic or production activity.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete stone spindle whorl, conical in shape with a diameter of 33.2mm and a height of 18.34mm. The stone is dense and light grey in colour. There is a circular perforation through the centre of this spindle whorl, measuring 6.9mm at the tapering end and 8.6mm at the flat face. The flat face of this spindle whorl is decorated with two concentric incised circles. This spindle whorl is perhaps most likely to be Anglo-Saxon in date, especially due to the Anglo-Saxon objects it was found in the same area as.

Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of a stone probable spindle whorl, circular in shape and measuring c33mm in diameter and 8.9mm thick. The stone is mid grey in colour. The complete face is smooth and flat and the other face is missing due to an old break. The surviving sides do not seem to be tapering so it is likely that this possible spindle whorl was flat rather than conical in shape. There is a central circular perforation, 7.6mm in diameter. This spindle whorl is perhaps most likely to be early medieval or medieval in date due to the site where it was discovered and the fact that other finds of a …

A plano-convex spindlewhorl of sandstone. The spindlewhorl is quite large at 40 mm in diameter. It's central perforation measures 11 in diameter wide at the domed top and 12 mm in diameter at the flat bottom. The spindle whorl is decorated with two rows of concentric ring and dot decoration; the first row circling the perforation at the top consists of 6 ring and dots, and below this the other row consists of 16. The spindle whorl has been slightly damaged on the bottom. The heavy weight of the spindle whorl (33 grams) suggests that this whorl was used in spinning a heavy garment, prob…
