Half of the object is missing due to old breaks. It is formed from a sherd of very micaceous Roman grey ware vessel with roughly rounded edges giving an approximately circular form. At the centre of the object is an incomplete circular perforation where the whorl would originally have been suspended. It measures 39.69mm in surviving width, 22.54mm in surviving length, 6.55mm in thickness, and weighs 7.05g. This spindle whorl is perhaps of Roman date, although it is equally possible that it was created in the later, Anglo-Saxon period utilising a sherd of Roman pottery.

It is presumed to be a weight, possibly a spindle whorl, although it has been made from a light-weight, pumice-like material, which is granular in texture and has a mottled appearance.
Each side of the object has an uneven surface and a number of chips around the edge. Although there is decoration on one side, the other side has at least one groove running across it. The weight is irregular in shape and the perforation is worn to a greater extent on the undecorated side.
It may be a spindle whorl made from a pierced potsherd, similar to those excavated in the pre-Roman layers at Verulamium, for example, no 1 of plate LV B appears very similar.

The spindle whorl is sub-circular in plan, its diameter measures 33.4mm and is 10.9mm thick. There is a circular hole pierced through the whorl and this is set slightly off centre. The diameter of the hole measures 7.1mm. The whorl weighs 15.42 grams.
The whorl is undecorated and the edges are worn. The fabric of the pottery is relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit ironstone and quartz inclusions. The pottery / spindle whorl is a mid orange colour. It has been abraded and rolled in the plough soil. The edges of the whorl have also been damaged and this has resulted in it becoming slightly irregular in plan. The dating of this whorl is fairly conclusive due to it being made from Roman pottery.
