Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A lead alloy spindle whorl. The spindle whorl has a circular central perforation; from this hole the spindle whorl has a roughly D-shaped cross section with a flat base. It is undecorated. Undecorated spindle whorls are hard to date, and their use (in lead) spans the Roman to Medieval period. The shape of this spindle whorl is more reminiscent of those used in the Roman and Early-medieval periods. For similar see SWYOR-5A26C8.

A complete cast lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date (Roman to medieval, c. AD 43-1500). The spindle whorl is sub-conical with eleven moulded ribs down its sides with a central circular aperture with a diameter of 9.8mm. The height of the whorl is uneven which may suggest an earlier date as medieval whorls are frequently biconvex. There is cracking to all surfaces of the whorl. Similar whorls have been recorded on this database: see HESH-4CF861, and HESH-98F1C0.

A complete lead alloy spindle whorl of probable Roman date (AD 43-410). The spindle whorl is circular in plan and rectangular in section, with a central, circular perforation. There is no decoration. Spindle whorls are very hard to date out of context, although based on the majority of finds from the area it is likely to be Roman in date, however it could also be medieval.
