An incomplete spindle whorl of uncertain date. It is missing part of one end due to old breaks but is otherwise intact. The whorl appears to be formed from fired grey/brown clay.

It measures 21.62mm in length, 30.13mm in external diameter, 11.31mm in internal diameter, and 24.24g in weight. This is a ceramic spindle whorl of uncertain date.
