A complete probable Roman lead-alloy spindle whorl dating to circa AD 43-41. It is discoidal in plan and plano-convex in section with broadly straight edges. The faces are undecorated. The central perforation is is small, 6mm in diameter, indicative of a pre-Early Medieval date. Consequently, a broad Roman date is suggested.

A complete lead Roman to post-medieval spindle whorl or weight. The object is discoidal with rounded edges and is perforated with a wide hole in the centre. The surface is hevaily pitted and scratched. Because the object lacks diagnostic features it could easily date from the Roman to Modern period. It may have functioned as a spindle whorl, but is slightly irregular in shape and so may simply have been a weight. Diameter: 22.45mm, thickness: 8.34mm, weight: 22.92g

A lead spindle whorl biconical in shape with a central circular perforation anhd a diameter of 28mm and a thickness of 12mm. Both faces have traces of moulded decoration on them consisting of vertical lines with crosses and dots inbetween them. Lead spindlewhorls are difficult to date and are known from the Roman to the Medieval period. However, as this spindle whorl was found at the same findspot as an early Anglo-Saxon disc brooch it is possible that it to is Anglo-Saxon in date.

A lead spindle whorl biconical in shape with a diameter of 27mm and a thickness of 12mm, and a central circular perforation. It is decorated with moulded zig-zags with dots inbetween them on both faces. Lead spindle whorls are difficult to date and are found in mainly Medieval contexts, although they are known from the Roman period onwards. As this one has been found in the same spot as an Anglo-Saxon small long brooch there is a possiblility that it is also of Anglo-Saxon date, but no Anglo-Saoxn parallels could be found to allow this date to be more than a tenataive suggestion.

Record ID: SF10748
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A lead decorated spindle whorl, flattish biconical in shape measuring 34mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness. There is a central circular perforation which is 13mm in diameter. This spindle whorl is decorated on both faces with an inner ring of raised oval knops and an outer ring of slanting longditudinal raised lines. Decorated spindle whorls are difficult to date and those decorated with raised dots, zig-zags and lines have been found in both Roman and medieval context (Geake 2001, 66). This spindle whorl could therefore dat to any time between the Roman and Medieval periods.
