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. At the centre of the object is an incomplete circular perforation where the whorl would originally have been suspended. It measures 39.69mm in surviving width, 22.54mm in surviving length, 6.55mm in thickness, and weighs 7.05g. This spindle whorl is perhaps of Roman date, although it is equally possible that it was created in the …

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.

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.

A worn and incomplete lead spindle whorl which could be Roman or later in date. It is a flattened cone in shape with a part of the flat base missing due to an old break, it has a circular central hole. It is c23mm in diameter and 8.9mm in thickness and the central hole is 7mm in diameter. All faces are irregular and have grooves and incisions across them, these appear to be random and it is impossible to know if they are intentional or created by damage or use.

A lead spindle whorl which could be Roman or later in date as they do not change in form through time. This example is cone-shaped with a central circular hole, it measures 18.7mm in height and 27.4mm in base diameter. The central hole is 5.9mm in diameter at the base and 4.5mm in diameter at the tapering terminal. The outer face of the spindle whorl is rough and there are several small rectangular indentations which form a transverse row, these may be intentional decoration although due to wear it is difficult to be sure.

There are several vertical grooves on the outer face, these are randomn and may be due to damage and do not appear to be intentional decoration.
