An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (AD 43 - 1650). In plan the spindle whorl is sub-circular and in profile is bi-conical. The central perforation has been started from each side of the object but remains unfinished. On one of the faces the indentation is more pronounced than the other face where it is little more than a small concave impression. Each face of the object is worn and has no visible decoration. The surface of the spindle whorl is cream in colour. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficu…

A cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (AD 43 - 1650). In plan the spindle whorl is sub-circular and in profile is sub-oval. There is a central sub-circular perforation which measures 7.32 mm in diameter on one face and is slightly narrower on the opposing face measuring 6.72 mm. This irregularity is possibly due to wear. This example is undecorated on both faces. The surface of the spindle whorl is cream in colour and abraded. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to date precisely.

Cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD). The spindle whorl is broadly circular in plan. The central hole is set slightly off centre with a diameter of 9.7mm. The upper and lower surfaces of the whorl are decorated with a poorly achieved cast inscription. The inscription is lost, partly because of poor casting and also by wear. From what remains the inscription is probably in two parts separated with pellet stops (:) and possibly beginning with a cross formed from four pellets. The inscription reads + I [...] : ROI : The reverse inscription i…

Cast lead or lead alloy undecorated spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD). The spindle whorl is broadly circular in plan. The central hole is set slightly off centre; the diameter of the hole measures 9.1mm. The spindle whorl is a mid-light grey cream colour with an uneven abraded and broken patina. The whorl has also been abraded and rolled in the plough soil and the edges have been damaged. Spindle whorls and line weights are used for a long period of time and as such are very difficult to date precisely without other evidence (such as pottery).

An incomplete cast lead or lead alloy spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD). The spindle whorl is broadly circular in plan and domed (D-shaped) in cross section. The central hole is circular and has been cast / set off centre; it has an interal diameter of 0.8cm. The upper face have been cast with a simple design comprising 7 regular radiating spoke-like ribs with single pellets in each divided area. The lower surface is flat and not decorated. This is highly unusal and it is possible that this whorl represents casting waste, being the cast from just one face …
