An incomplete lead spindle whorl. It is disc-shaped/plano-convex with slightly convex faces, rounded edges and wide a central circular hole - diameter c.12mm. One face is decorated with a ring of narrow, raised saltire crosses and the other with a ring of raised widely spaced diagonal, parallel lines. There is a section missing to one side and the central perforation is more worn to this side. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded.  The use of a spindle whorl in spinning spanned the Iron Age to very early post-medieval periods. Lead examples have been found in 10…

A complete probable Early Medieval lead spindle whorl dating to circa AD 500-850. Cast in one piece it is comprised of a flat base with steep, conical walls and a central perforation with a diameter of 6.8mm Though difficult to date without secure stratigraphic information, spindle whorls of this form are consistent with Walton Rogers form A1-2, dating to the early to middle Saxon period (2007).
