Bowl

Unique ID: NMGW-E32E36

Object type certainty:

Incomplete worked sandstone bowl probably of Early Medieval or Medieval date. The exterior of the bowl, including the base, is sub-circular with a varying wall thickness of between 95 and 160mm. The interior and exterior of the bowl have been shaped by pecking. It is possible the bowl may have been a crudely worked font, but is more likely to have been utilised for some domestic or production activity.

Notes:

The bowl can be paralleled with a similar, but rectangular worked stone bowl, part of which was found re-used in the make up of a 10th century house floor at the recent excavations at Glyn, Llanbedrgoch, Anglesey (Redknap, forthcoming).
