Record ID: SWYOR-DB28A0
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An early Medieval lead spindle whorl of Walton Rogers form A1 dating from AD 850-1000. It has a flat base with a domed and slightly flattened apex and a central hole of 9.3mm in diameter. The object is 27.0mm in diameter, 13.2mm thick, and weighs 45.79g. The whorl has a mid-grey patina.
A similar example is SWYOR-057095. Form A1 whorls are known from AD 500 - 1000, but the size of the central hole (over 9mm) makes a late Saxon date more likely.

An incomplete pottery spindle whorl of probable Roman or Early-Medieval date. Half of the object is missing due to old breaks. It is formed from a sherd of very micaceous Roman grey ware vessel with roughly rounded edges giving an approximately circular form.

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.

Irregular perforated weight or spindle-whorl made from chalk. Sub-rectangular with rounded corners when viewed either from the top or the side, it measures 27 x 34 mm and is 15 mm thick. It is either not particularly well made or has suffered some damage, as it has a rather lumpy outline. The circular perforation is a little off-centre and is symmetrically waisted, narrowing slightly to c. 10 mm minimum diameter. Weights like this one are usually interpreted as spindle-whorls, but a rectangular weight would perhaps not make a very good whorl as it would not turn evenly. They canno…

Well-made lead spindle whorl, 35 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick. Plano-convex in shape (with one flat face and one rounded face), the flat face is actually slightly concave as it slopes up towards the central perforation. This flares from 10.5 mm in diameter at the rounded face to 13.5 mm in diameter at the flat face. It weighs 77.4g, which is rather heavy for a spindle whorl; these weighs may have had different uses as well. Although their date is unknown, there is a suspicion that they may be post-medieval.

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.

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.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
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.

Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
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 lead decorated spindle whorl, biconical in shape, measuring 29.33 in diameter and 10mm in thickness, at its central/thickest point. This spindle whorl has circular central perforation 9.8mm in diameter.
Both faces are decorated with moulded V-shaped arranged alternately with transverse mouldings, inbetween each pair of mouldings there are also protruding circular knops, arranged near to the outer and inner edges of the spindle whorl alternately.
The precise dating of lead spindle whorls is difficult when they are found out of context, both Roman and medieval exa…

Record ID: SF-10F241
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 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
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead spindle whorl, 28-29 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm tall, with a central circular perforation which tapers from 12 mm in diameter at the base to 10 mm in diameter at the top. The flattish base originally had a wide groove hollowed out around the perforation, but part of this has been scraped away recently, probably by agricultural machinery. The sides are fairly straight and the top is rounded, with two older scrapes across it.

Record ID: SF9095
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead 'spindle whorl', plano-convex in shape. The maximum diameter is 35 mm close to the base, which has a hollowed-out centre with a perforation in the centre. The perforation is circular and tapers from 13 mm in diameter at the base to 9 mm diameter at the top. The upper part of the object is domed and undecorated, and it is 19 mm tall. Although these objects are known as spindle whorls, this one seems far too large and heavy for this; it may be a general-purpose weight. Undatable.

Record ID: SF7283
Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Circular perforated lead weight or spindle whorl. Vaguely conical, the object is extremely irregular, measuring 19 x 17 mm at the base and standing 12 mm tall. The off-centre perforation is 6 mm in diameter for all of its length. There are two large depressions in the side of the object, one of which has penetrated through to the perforation. There are also three or four dots around the top of the perforation which look almost decorative. The depressions are probably not there to adjust the weight, as it totals 18.07g (0.63 oz).
