A cast copper alloy spindle whorl dating from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and is bi-conical. It has a central circular perforation with an internal diameter of 9.15mm. The perforation has been damaged on one face in ancient times. Very faint traces of worn decoration can be seen on each face consisting of moulded ridges. The object has a light white patina suggesting it may be earlier in date. Similar examples of spindle whorls have reportedly been found in contexts dated from the Roman through to the Post-Medieval period although t…

Roman or Medieval (1st to 15th century) spindle whorl: The lead whorl is flat, discoidal and circular in plan with a circular central aperture of 10.48mm diameter. The whorl is undecorated. The whorl has a cream patina. It is 28.2mm diameter, 5.52mm thick and weighs 21.4g. Spindle whorls, as an artefact type, can be hard to date accurately as they remained in use for a long period of time, however lead alloy spindle whorls of this type are normally attributed to the Medieval period (c. AD 1100 to AD 1450). The weight of the spindle whorl is suggestive of a fine silk or linen threa…

A lead alloy discoidal Spindle Whorl with an off-set circular central hole. It is undecorated, so impossible to date closely. Its form suggests a date range of late Iron Age to Post Medieval (400 BC - AD 1600), but the other finds from the area and the small central aperture (about 6mm diameter) may suggest a Roman date of about AD 43 - 410 (Walton Rogers, 2007, p23 -24). The whorl has a shallow 0.5mm deep groove running around the center hole on one side. The sides are smooth with rounded corners. There is no decoration inside the central hole which is not prefectly centralised (off-…

A complete lead spindle whorl of Roman to Medieval date (AD 43-1550). The object is a conical, circular shape with and irregular central aperture running through its centre. The base of the object is smooth and flat and there is o visible sign of a decorative pattern. Due to the consistency in form of these objects and lack of diagnostic features (decorative patterns etc.), a broad date range must be applied. The lead has a creamy white patina.

An abraded fired clay spindle whorl of probable Roman date. It is circular in form, oval in section with a large central circular aperture. The whorl is formed from an abraded and slighty micaceous Roman fabric, possibly from a ceramic vessel or a fragment of fired clay tile. It measures 38.46mm in diameter, 13.38mm in thickness and 22.47g in weight. This whorl is of probable Roman date, c.43-410 AD, although a slightly later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.
