Roman shale object
A globular shale block with a flat top and base, one smaller than the other. A hole has been drilled through the centre and one side is somewhat abraded. This is possibly a spindlewhorl similar to two from Silchester (Lawson 1975, Fig 14, 108a and e) but could equally be a dagger pommel.
