An early Medieval lead spindle whorl of Walton Rogers form A1 dating from AD 850-1000. It has a flat base with a domed and slightly flattened apex and a central hole of 9.3mm in diameter. The object is 27.0mm in diameter, 13.2mm thick, and weighs 45.79g. The whorl has a mid-grey patina.  A similar example is SWYOR-057095. Form A1 whorls are known from AD 500 - 1000, but the size of the central hole (over 9mm) makes a late Saxon date more likely.

A complete stone spindle whorl of possible Anglo-Saxon or later date. It is plano-convex in form and made from a fine grained dark grey stone with large central circular perforation. The exterior surfaces have the remains of at least one circumferential groove. It measures 23.83mm in height, 35.21mm in diameter, the perforation has a maximum diameter of 11.45mm, and the entire object weighs 37.79g. This spindle whorl finds parallels in other examples recorded through the PAS from Norfolk and Suffolk of suggested Early-Medieval/Anglo-Saxon date (NMS-B4E236, NMS-C3AED5, SF-F0B730 or…

an early medieval or later stone spindle whorl. It is circular with a hole pierced through the centre. One side is flattened around the hole. The outer surface is smooth and has signs of wear including some pitting. It is 29.54mm in diameter and 21.46mm in height, and weighs 23.45g. Spindle whorls of this type were current from the Anglo-Saxon period onwards, but there are no associations to qualify the date of this piece.

Circular lead weight, flat beneath and domed above, with central hole. The outer diameter is 30mm, the central hole 8mm, and the height at centre is 8.5mm. It may be a spindle-whorl, in which case it might be early mediaeval, but it might also be a weight (e.g. fishing or similar) and if so it could be a good deal later.

A circular lead weight 23.5mm in diameter and 14mm in maximum thickness, with a central piercing of about 5.5mm. The upper and lower surfaces are neatly domed, and meet at a carination or keel which surrounds the middle of the object. It is probably as Anglo-Saxon spindle-whorl, but might have some other function.

County: Suffolk
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 …

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.

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…
