Lead possible spindle whorl. Cast plano-convex or conical profile whorl with a central moulded and tapered aperture of diameter 9.7mm-8mm, possibly enlarged by distortion of the object, and with two deep nicks within one side of the hole, along with two small pits on the outer surface nearby. The former modification might hint at the conversion of a whorl to a line weight. A thick white patina has apparently spalled away from parts of the object. The original form might fall within Walton Rogers’ form A1, while, if a spindle whorl, the size of the hole may point to a Viking or An…

A cast lead spindle whorl of Walton Rogers type B2, probably dating from the Early Medieval or Medieval period, about AD 850 - 1200. It is flat and discoid with curved sides and a central, circular perforation of internal diameter 10.2mm. It is 25.2mm in overall diameter and 5.5mm thick. It weighs 16.7g. Spindle whorls of this type are illustrated in Walton Rogers, 2007, Cloth and Clothing in early Anglo-Saxon England, page 25. Form B2 whorls are thought to date from AD 700 - 1200, but the large central hole suggests a date in the late Saxon period onwards.

A cast lead probable spindle whorl of probable Early Medieval date, AD 500 - 850.  It has one flat face and one rounded face (Walton Rogers form A1).  The object is undecorated and uneven, with a worn and off-centre perforation of 6.5mm diameter. The object is 21.4mm in diameter, 10.3mm thick and weighs 15.41g.  Walton Rogers suggests that spindle whorls with perforations of 6-9mm are more likely to be early to middle Early Medieval (AD 500 - 850). She reports that Form A1 whorls were used from AD 500 - 1000.
