The fragment is the leg and foot of a probable cooking vessel. The leg is roughly trapezoidal in shape and section and narrows slightly towards the base of the foot. Two protruding ridges extend down the front of the fragment to either side of the central point. The reverse of the leg and base of the foot are flat and undecorated. The break at the top of the leg fragment is very worn and pitted.
The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is very worn. The fragment is 68.7mm long, 36.5mm wide, 17.5mm thick and weighs 139g.
While it is not possible to allocate this fragment to a specific vessel type it is likely to be from a cauldron, posnet or skillet. A mid 13th to 16th century date is generally accepted for copper alloy cooking vessels.
