Description

Summary: Spindle whorl or net weight. Crudely made flat disc with central hole. May not have sufficient weight for spindle whorl. From fieldwork undertaken by the WANHS Archaeology Field Group at Godwin's Meadow, Rodbourne, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, 2006 and 2009. A site of multiple occupation, stretching from the 10th to the 18th century, but the most intensive periods of activity extended from the latter years of the Saxon-Norman period and continued through to the end of the High Medieval period (10th-14th centuries). A complex area of earthworks which indicated that structures, enclosures, banks and ditches once existed in this area.
