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.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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
