An incomplete tripod cauldron of the Medieval period. It is rounded, with a wide rim. The three legs are present, one does not appear to match and this may be the result of a later repair.

A lot of the body of the cauldron is missing, although the weight of what remains is still substantial. Nevertheless it holds its shape and is an exceptional find as these would mostly have been recycled when too damaged to use further in the peri…
