Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (AD1 - 1650), most probably later medieval (AD1150-1600).
In plan the spindle whorl is sub-circular and in profile is bi-convex. There is a central sub-circular perforation which measures 8.51mm in diameter. The perforation is irregular in shape possibly due to wear. One face of the whorl has a raised circumferential rib. There is also the remains of raised ribs and possibly pellets as seen on other examples, such as (HESH-4FCB15) discovered in Cheshire East. Although the decoration on this example is now very w…

Stone spindle-whorl of uncertain date, Roman to early Post Medieval, c. 100 - 1700
The comparatively regular and circular spindle-whorl (of 34.9 - 35.8mm diameter and weighing 18.0g) is made from a coarse-grained, micaeous sandstone, now with polished surfaces. The spindle-whorl is of sub-rectangular section (7.9-8.4mm thick) with slightly flat faces. The perforation is central and is circular (5.0mm diameter) with straight parallel sides. There is little surviving evidence of decoration on the worn faces, although a single incised line bisecting one face is discernible and may be d…

A lead bi-conical spindle whorl of probable medieval to post medieval date. As ever, always difficult to be precise on date with no other evidence, thus it is possible that the date range may go back to the Roman.
The whorl is undecorated and has a central hole diameter of 10.15mm. The surface is covered with a pale cream oxidation.

A lead bi-conical spindle whorl of probable medieval to post medieval origin. The whorl is poorly cast with no decoration and just about qualifies for the bi-conical form but the intent is clear. The central hole is 11.65mm and the surface is now pitted and marked and covered with the typical pale cream patina further discoloured by the reddish soil adhered to the surface.

A cast lead alloy spindle whorl or perhaps a weight, of indeterminate date. Possibly Roman but equally, it may be post medieval. The whorl/weight has an elliptical form and is undecorated. The central hole has a diameter of 5.5mm and the wear pattern appears to be off centre, giving credence to the weight theory, perhaps fishing associated. The surface has considerable scarring with a dull cream patina.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Powys
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast lead alloy spindle whorl that is possibly Roman. Always difficult to date, spindle whorls appear right through to the post medieval, however, this whorl was found close to a single Roman coin and a second whorl of similar design and the characteristic 'deep' design may be indicative of a Roman origin.
The undecorated whorl has a bi-conical form and a large casting flaw to one side. The central hole has a diameter of 9.25mm. The surface is now covered with a pale cream oxidation.
