A complete lead spindle whorl of medieval to post-medieval date. The spindle whorl is bi-conical with a central perforation running through it. One surface is decorated with two concentric rings of pellets while the other has raised zig-zag lines which form a star-like design with a single raised pellet within each resulting cell. The metal is a mid-greyish-brown colour and is worn. The spindle whorl is 30.5mm in diameter, 10.1mm thick and weighs 32.5g. The perforation is 10.1mm in diameter. Lead spindle whorls were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval p…

A complete lead-alloy spindle whorl of medieval to post-medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1800. The spindle whorl is bi-conical with a central perforation running through it. Both surfaces bear faint traces of decoration though it is too worn to be sufficiently determined. The metal has a mid-brown patina and is worn. The spindle whorl is 29.3mm in diameter, 12.4mm thick and weighs 51.1g. The perforation is 9.2mm in diameter. Lead spindle whorls were commonly used from the Iron Age through to the post-medieval period and are difficult to date with any certainty. Decorated examples are …

A lead-alloy spindle whorl, decorated on both sides. The whorl is plano-convex with a circular central hole, but is damaged on both faces. The decoration on one side is raised radial ribs dividing the whorl into eight sections, with a large raised pellet in alternate spaces. On the other side, the raised ribs form a square with a St. Andrew’s cross inside it, running from corner to corner of the square. There is also a central raised rib sub dividing two opposing triangles formed by the square and the cross, and central pellets in the other two triangles. It is 32.3mm in diameter and…

A cast lead alloy Medieval spindle whorl (diameter: 29.26mm). It is plano convex with a central circular perforation (internal diameter: 9.55mm). On face is decorated with raised dots and radiating lines. The other face is decorated with lines which split it into four sections; within each section there is a raised dot enclosed in a circle. It is generally accepted that whorls decorated in this style date from the medieval period, about 1200 - 1600 AD. The whorl has a dark brown patina but this may be de to having ben coated with oil.

A lead alloy spindle whorl which is probably Early Medieval to Medieval in date. It is conical in shape (has one flat face) with a central hole of c.9mm diameter. There is a shallow groove half way between the hole and the edge on the flat side. It has a diameter of 26.7mm and a height of 11.1mm. It weighs 35.52g. Spindle whorls are notoriously difficult to date as few are found in secure contexts. However, this example can be seen to fit into Coppergate type A1 which is considered to have started being used in the 6th century (Rogers, 2007: Cloth and Clothing in early Anglo Saxon Eng…

A cast lead alloy spindle whorl probably dating from the Medieval or early post-Medieval period, AD 1200 - 1600. It is biconvex with a broad median ridge and a central circular perforation of 10.2mm diameter. There is a small cavity in the inner wall of the perforation. Both sides are decorated, the decoration being somewhat abraded and dfficult to distinguish. One side has oblique, radiating lines, creating trapezoidal panels; the other also has lines but these appear to be random, both radial and horizontal with no discenible pattern. The whorl has a patchy, dark grey patina. It is …

A lead alloy spindle whorl (probably) dating from the Roman or Early Medieval period probably, about AD 43 - 1000. It is of Walton Rogers Form A1, having a D shaped cross section, and being plano-convex, however, it is oval rather than circular and of uneven thickness, casting doubt on its function as a spindle whorl. The central aperture is 3-4mm diameter. The small diameter of the central hole is thought to indicate an early date. The whorl is 18mm long, 15mm wide and 7.8mm thick. 8.07g. If not a whorl, it could be a perforated weight.
