A lead alloy spindle whorl or weight. It is flat on both faces, with rounded edges, D shaped in section. There is no apparent decoration. The central perforation is approximately 10mm in diameter. A number of similar examples have been recorded by the Berkshire FLO, one of which is BERK-4D6A2C. These are difficult to date without other evidence, and are considered by some to be Roman when in this form, this artefact is from an area of known Roman activity Dimensions: It is 28mm in diameter and 7mm thick, the central hole is 10mm diameter and it weighs 29.28g

A complete probable Roman lead-alloy spindle whorl dating to circa AD 43-41. It is discoidal in plan and plano-convex in section with broadly straight edges. The faces are undecorated. The central perforation is is small, 6mm in diameter, indicative of a pre-Early Medieval date. Consequently, a broad Roman date is suggested.

The object is bi-conical and carinated, (has a ridge around the circumference). both faces are convex. It is worn but appears to have a moulded relief pellet and line design. The patina is cream. Walton Rogers suggested a change in design over time: the post-11th-century whorls became rounder in shape with no flat faces, and were either globular, spherical, or rounded bi-conical known as Type/Form C. However Standley suggests a period of the 13th to 15th century for this…

A lead alloy spindle whorl. The spindle whorl has a circular central perforation; from this hole the spindle whorl has a roughly D-shaped cross section with a flat base. It is undecorated. Undecorated spindle whorls are hard to date, and their use (in lead) spans the Roman to Medieval period. The shape of this spindle whorl is more reminiscent of those used in the Roman and Early-medieval periods. For similar see SWYOR-5A26C8.

Cast lead or lead alloy undecorated spindle whorl of Roman to Post Medieval date (1 - 1650 AD); most probably Roman date (AD 100-400). The spindle whorl is circular in plan and rectangular in cross section. The central hole is circular (diameter 8.4mm) with straight sides. The external rim / edge also is also straight - convex / rounded . Both the upper and lower faces of the whorl are undecorated but both have surface scratches through abrasion. The spindle whorl is a light grey cream colour with an even but eroded patina. Spindle whorls are used for a long period of time and as such…

A lead alloy probable spindle whorl of probable Roman date. The whorl was probably originally plano convex but is now very worn. The central circular perforation has a maximum diameter of 4mm. This suggests that it could be of Late Iron Age or Roman date, though this is an unreliable method of dating. The flat side of the whorl has a slightly raised rim round the central perforation. This is found on Roman Coppergate Type A whorls. The whorl was also found in an area where many other Roman objects have been recovered, so a Roman date is suggested. The whorl has a grey patina.

A lead alloy spindle whorl or lead weight. The item is dome shaped in profile; the edges taper from the flat circular base upwards to a rounded top. There is a circular hole in the centre for suspension, which goes from the top through to the base. Simple items like this have been used throughout the ages from the Roman through to the modern periods, therefore, as this item is not from an archaeological context, it cannot be given a firm date. 22mm diameter at base.

A cast lead alloy spindle whorl of uncertain date, but possibly Roman. It is semi-spherical in shape with a slightly concave upper face and a domed lower face. This shape is consistent with whorls thought to be Roman in Walton Rogers (2007). The central hole tapers from 9.5mm on the upper face to 7mm on the domed face. It is full of soil. It is 12.61mm in thickness, 29.83mm in diameter and weighs 54.26 grams. Lead alloy spindle whorls are very difficult to date as few are found in datable contexts.
