A lead spindle whorl dating to the Post-Medieval period (AD 1500-1600). Cast biconical whorl with a central moulded aperture of diameter 7.63mm. Moulded relief decoration on one side comprises faint lines forming rhomboid compartments. The other side bears similar faint decoration. A flat circumferential rim appears where the two halves meet. Patinated overall. Foreman (2018) has suggested the mass was intended to ply cord. He also suggests that deep nicks on one side, extending from the edge, might be tying notches.

A lead spindle whorl probably dating from the early Medieval period, about AD 850 - 1000, of Walton Rogers form A1. The unusually large whorl has a flat upper face and a rounded or domed lower face with straight sides. It has a neat central hole. The metal is crazed and friable. The patina is grey. The object is 34.4mm in diameter, 14.2mm thick and weighs 65.62g. The central hole is 10.4mm in diameter. Walton Rogers dates Form A1 whorls to the early Medieval period, and the size of the central aperture may indicate a date in the late Saxon period onwards.

A lead-alloy spindle-whorl, possibly of medieval date, coated in a layer of lead corrosion products. Spindle whorls are a spinning technology developed to allow for the preparation of even threads for the creation of cloth or other textiles. The object is roughly circular, and pierced through the middle to form a flywheel shape. The edges and inner hole are surrounded by a raised encircling border, and between them is a depressed area which may possibly have been decorated with raised linear patterns but is now too degraded to be legible.

A cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (c. AD 1 - 1650), most probably later medieval (c. AD 1150 - 1600). The spindle whorl is broadly circular in plan and rectangular / flat in cross section, although the edges are irregular due to plough damage. The central hole is broadly circular and has been cast / set slightly off centre. The diameter of the hole measures 6.4mm. There is no evidence of cast or incised designs present. One of the faces has an unevan surface due to damage in plough soil. The spindle whorl is a cream - white colour with an abraded a…

A cast lead, or lead alloy, spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (AD1 - 1650). In plan the spindle whorl is sub-circular. There is a sub-circular perforation which is 8.3mm diameter which is located in the centre of the whorl. Both faces of the object are flat and are un-decorated. The surfaces of the spindle whorl are a light cream colour. The object has been bent and the shape slightly distorted. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and decorated examples are thought to date to the medieval to post-medieval periods. However, this undecorated example is very diff…
