Title
?Spindle whorl
Description
English: A perforated sub-circular object bearing incised decoration on one side. 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.
