A complete iron bucket handle mount, probably dating to the post-medieval period. The mount comprises a triangular iron plate, slightly dished, with rivets in place at each corner. From one side protrudes a rectangular plate, slightly raised from the triangular plate, with a rounded end and large circular perforation. It is similar in form and size to three other mounts from the river (BH-ED7478; BH-ED7E0D; BH-ED8336). As it is likely they were used in pairs, they therefore represent the remains of at least three similar vessels. Although buckets escutcheons with three rivets were use…

A complete riveted iron handle, post-medieval or modern in date. It possesses a crescent-sectioned gripping surface, bent into a slightly omega-shaped loop, flattened at each end into leaf-shaped terminals, pierced for two nail holes each, which point downwards. Whilst a similar vessel mount comes from Dragonby (Manning and McDonald 1996, Fig. 11.38, 73), this object strongly resembles the handles of a tin bath, even down to its bent crescent-shaped sections and is therefore likely to be modern. Measurements: L 118 mm ; H 115 mm ; L (gripping surface) 118 mm ; W (gripping surface) …
