A lead alloy spindle whorl. The design on one face consists of three concentric circles, one inside the inner edge, one in the middle of the face, and one at the outer edge. Around these, centred on the middle circle, are six smaller circles, evenly spaced around the whorl. At the centre of these, on the central circle, are raised dots, and there are pairs of raised dots above and below the centre line between the smaller circles. There are also dots where the small circles meet the inner and outer larger circles.The inside of the inner circle to the middle of the whorl is plain. …

A lead alloy spinlde whorl or weight. It is a truncated cone with a flat base, the central hole being only 7mm diameter, which may suggest an early Walton-Rogers Type A1. It is very small for a whorl and may equally have been a weight.
Dimensions: It is 18mm diameter at the base and 6mm deep, the central hole is 7mm and it weighs 8.13g

A lead alloy spindle whorl or weight. It is a truncated cone in shape, with smooth, slightly bowed in sides. The central hole is 7mm in diameter, and this may indicate that it is an early artefact. The hole curves out on the underside of the body and so gives the illusion of being a bigger diameter on the base, although it isn't. It has an even white patina. It is paralleled on the database by LIN-7BE15A and LANCUM-51DBD8, amongst others, which are dated to AD 700-1000
Dimensions: 18mm diameter and 12mm high, the central hole is 7mm diameter and it weighs 13.13g

Limestone spindle whorl. Plain fat limestone disc with large hole, Walton Rogers form B. The source record alludes to a large hole which may hint at an Anglo-Scandinavian date. The flat cylindrical form is common at Flixborough in a 8th-to-9th-century assemblage, and continues as a popular form into the medieval period. The mass may suggest this example could be used to spin a fine yarn. Stone whorls are much more common than lead when occupation deposits are hand-excavated. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 950-1100
Diameter: 34.5mm, Thickness: 12.5mm, Weight: 18.9gms.
