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.

A lead spindle whorl of uncertain Roman or later date. It is conical in form with crudely flattened top and bottom surfaces, undecorated and with a central circular perforation. It measures 21.86mm in diameter, 7.80mm in height and weighs 15.73g. Simple lead weights such as this were utilised as spindle whorls over a long period of time and the current example may date to any point from the Roman period onwards.

A perforated lead weight or spindle whorl. It is circular with a slightly irregular circumference measuring 25.3mm in diameter. It is plano-convex in shape and the the central perforation is approximately circular and 8.5mm in diameter. The spindle whorl is 5.15mm in height and weighs 16.87g. It is not possible to put a date on this object, but if this is a spindle whorl rather than a weight it could date to any time within the medieval period.

Likely to be a complete cast lead spindle whorl of uncertain date. It is conical in from 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. It measures 24.17mm in diameter, 8.10mm in height and weighs 17.53g.

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.

A complete lead medieval or post-medieval spindle whorl or weight. It has a flat base and convex upper surface, with a circular hole through the centre. It survives in fairly good condition with some deep scratches in places. Most spindle whorls are Medieval or early Post-Medieval in date, although they were in use for a long period of time changing little in form. Diameter: 26.22mm, thickness: 7.30mm, weight: 26.88g

A cast lead spindle whorl. It is biconical in form with central circular aperture, and has moulded decoration on both faces. This comprises single continuous zig-zag lines on both faces, between a slightly raised circumferential band and band or collar around the central aperture. The entire object measures 21.21mm in diameter, 12.42mm in thickness, and 19.31g in weight. This is a decorative lead spindle whorl. It may be of any date from the Roman period onward, although a date range in the Medieval period is probably most likely.

A somewhat corroded lead-alloy spindle whorl dating to the Medieval or Post-Medieval period, c. 1200-1550. The whorl is circular in plan and biconical in section, with a medium-sized circular aperture at its midpoint. Both faces of the whorl are decorated with intersecting linear motifs, inbetween which are raised pellets. Preserved in rather poor condition with heavily flaking surfaces, it measures c. 31.11mm in diameter, 12.72mm thick at its midpoint, and weighs 26.89g. A virtually identical spindle whorl is recorded on the PAS database as YORYM-E1F2E6. These objects were used th…

An complete lead Iron Age to Post-Medieval biconical spindle whorl. It is formed from two flattened, truncated cones, joined at the base with a narrow circular hole (c.6mm) through the centre (Walton-Rogers Type B3). The surface is worn, whitish grey in colour and pitted in places. Undecorated spindle whorls of this form were in use from the Iron Age well into the post-medieval period with little change in form and are therefore difficult to date precisely. Walton-Rogers (2007, 24-5) suggests that bi-conical whorls with narrow central holes (
