Incomplete handle lug with fragment of rim from a copper-alloy cauldron (large cooking pot). The wall of the cauldron is 4 mm thick and the rim is simple and unthickened. The handle lug projects about 7 mm below the rim. It is circular in section, 15 mm in diameter, and is broken at its angled corner. The fragment of rim measures 23 x 33.5 mm, and the handle lug measures 53 mm from the inside of the vessel to the break. There is extensive orange staining, probably iron corrosion. The fragment of cauldron rim joins with another fragment of rim found 20-30 m away and recorded as sf 733/5818.
