VESSEL
Unique ID: SF-179971
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A copper alloy Medieval or early Post-Medieval cooking vessel leg. It is fairly large in size and roughly triangular section with a central raised rib running the length of the outer face. There is a break at one end where is would have attached to the vessel. The other end has been worn to a point. It is heavily corroded with a worn and pitted surface. Roderick Butler (pers. comm.) has commented that at present we can only date fragments of cauldrons broadly, as largely the same design was in use from the 12th to the 18th century. However, by the 17th century feet tend to be of the later collared type, suggesting a Medieval or early Post-Medieval date at the latest for this vessel.
