A conical lead weight, possibly used as a spindle whorl or similar object of uncertain date. It has a flat back face and slightly flattened top with central circular aperture. This spindle whorl measures 26.02mm in diameter, 7.46mm in height, 19.47g in weight. There are similar examples from Suffolk recorded on the PAS database (SF-EFBE42), (SF-4DEBF3). This is a relatively simple cast lead spindle whorl that could be of any date from the Roman period onwards.

A cast lead spindle whorl of probable Medieval or later date. It is conical in form with slightly concave back face and flattened upper surface. At its centre is a large circular perforation. The exterior surfaces of the whorl appear to have slight moulded decoration, perhaps simply diagonal strokes but the precise form is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. It measures 29.26mm in diameter, 9.24mm in thickness and 35.48g in weight. This whorl is likely to date to the Medieval or later periods, perhaps c.13th-17th centuries AD.

Likely to be a cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. It is slightly conical in form and sub-circular in plan. There is a significant circular hole at its centre. The base is smooth but the upper surface is pocked. The precise function is uncertain as it could conceivably be a weight or line sinker. Similarly, there is little diagnostic with which to date it meaning that it could date from the Roman period onwards. Similar, although cruder and undecorated, to SF-EFBE42.

A lead spindle whorl of probable Medieval to Post-Medieval date. It is conical in form with flattened top and bottom surfaces, undecorated and with a central circular perforation. It measures 28.93mm in diameter, 11.42mm in height and weighs 50.74g. Simple lead weights such as this were utilised as spindle whorls over a long period of time from the Roman period onwards. The relatively fine manufacture of this object, and particularly the neatly drilled perforation, might indicate a Post-Roman date in the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods.

Perforated lead spindle whorl, circular with central perforation, diameter 13mm. The outer diameter of the whorl is 30.15mm. There is a single notch or groove on the surface from the outer edge toward the central perforation. The whorl weighs 66.82g. The date range is wide because the form of these spindle whorls does not change over time.

Circular lead weight, flat beneath and domed above, with central hole. The outer diameter is 30mm, the central hole 8mm, and the height at centre is 8.5mm. It may be a spindle-whorl, in which case it might be early mediaeval, but it might also be a weight (e.g. fishing or similar) and if so it could be a good deal later.

A circular lead weight 23.5mm in diameter and 14mm in maximum thickness, with a central piercing of about 5.5mm. The upper and lower surfaces are neatly domed, and meet at a carination or keel which surrounds the middle of the object. It is probably as Anglo-Saxon spindle-whorl, but might have some other function.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A complete lead conical spindle whorl, circular in plan, measuring 26.6mm in diameter and 8.7mm in thickness, at its thickest point. There is a central circular perforation through this spindle whorl, 7.6mm in diameter. The sides of the upper face of the spindle whorl are decorated with evenly spaced vertical raised straight mouldings, of which there are seven. The dating of lead spindle whorls is difficult if they do not come from a sealed context, therefore, this example could date from the Roman to the end of the medieval period.

A fragment of a stone probable spindle whorl, circular in shape and measuring c33mm in diameter and 8.9mm thick. The stone is mid grey in colour. The complete face is smooth and flat and the other face is missing due to an old break. The surviving sides do not seem to be tapering so it is likely that this possible spindle whorl was flat rather than conical in shape. There is a central circular perforation, 7.6mm in diameter. This spindle whorl is perhaps most likely to be early medieval or medieval in date due to the site where it was discovered and the fact that other finds of a …

A complete stone spindle whorl, conical in shape with a diameter of 33.2mm and a height of 18.34mm. The stone is dense and light grey in colour. There is a circular perforation through the centre of this spindle whorl, measuring 6.9mm at the tapering end and 8.6mm at the flat face. The flat face of this spindle whorl is decorated with two concentric incised circles. This spindle whorl is perhaps most likely to be Anglo-Saxon in date, especially due to the Anglo-Saxon objects it was found in the same area as.

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.
