A cast lead spindle whorl of Medieval date. It is biconical in shape with flattened top and bottom and large circular central perforation. There is a prominent moulded ridge around the circumference of the whorl and both upper and lower faces have moulded decoration. One face is divided into four segments by four vertical ridges radiating from the perforation to the exterior edge. In two of the segments are the remains of the letters A (chevron barred) and I, but it is uncertain whether the remaining two segments also originally had lettering. It is unclear whether the lettering origin…

A lead spindle whorl of possible Medieval date. It is flat, discoidal in form with a central circular aperture and impressed rocker decoration on both faces. On one face (reverse?) the decoration comprises a border formed from a single band of rocker/corded decoration with two opposing groups of three bands running from the border to the central aperture. The opposite face (obverse?) has more extensive rocker decoration that covers the entire face. This comprises a similar outer border with two groups of bands running to the aperture. In addition there are several further unevenly spa…

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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 …

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
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.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Lead ?spindle whorl, circular with a central perforation. Flat and plano-convex, the rounded face is decorated with raised ribs, some of which radiate and others which might be pseudo-letters. The dating of these decorated whorls is difficult; suggestions have included Roman, late Anglo-Saxon and medieval, but the last seems most likely.

Object type: SPINDLE WHORL
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
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…

Lead spindle whorl or weight. Tall and plano-convex, the flat oval base measures 20 x 22 mm and has a groove around the central circular perforation. The perforation is 9 mm in diameter both at the base and at the rounded top. The spindle whorl is 16 mm long, and weighs39.14g (1.38 oz). There are some cut marks around the sides at the base, where it looks as if some lead has been shaved off to adjust the shape or weight.

County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Spindle whorl made from chalk, 37 mm in diameter and 13 mm thick. It is a thick disc in shape, with both circular faces slightly convex and the sides gently rounded. The central perforation flares gently from 8 mm at one end to 10 mm at the other. All surfaces are covered with irregularly set concentric grooves, apart from a small area around each end of the perforation. The whorl weighs 21.5g. Whorls are very hard to date.

Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Decorated lead spindle whorl, biconvex in shape, 26 mm in diameter and 15 mm thick, with a central perforation which flares slightly from 8.5 mm in diameter at one end to 10 mm in diameter at the other. It is decorated with a narrow raised seam around the junction of the two halves, over which are seven relief lozenges. It weighs 40.76g (1.44 oz). There is controversy about the dating of decorated lead spindle whorls - they may possibly be Roman, but are more likely to be medieval.
