A copper alloy fragment of a leg from a cooking vessel of Medieval or Post Medieval date. The leg is D-shaped in section and has a turned out foot which is damaged. There are traces of sooting on the leg, indicating it was used in a hearth. The breaks are patinated. Cast cooking vessels seem to have come into use in the second half of the 13th century and to have continued at least until c. 1600 (Geake 2001, Finds Recording Guide, page 52).
