A spindle whorl of Late Iron to early Roman periods.
It is a perforated circular disk. The position of the hole is off-centre and it has no decorations of markings, making it look quite rough.
Similar looking spindle whorls were found during earlier excavations on the same site, but were all unstratified. Objects like these can be difficult to date but studies (Walton, Rogers, 1997, p.1743) suggest that spindle whorls with a diameter of 4-8mm are more likely to be late Iron Age or early Roman. This date fits with the surrounding 1st century roundhouse context.
A spindle whorl is a weight that would be attached to a spindle, which itself is a tool used for spinnig yarn.
