A fragment of lead alloy casting waste of uncertain date. The object is sub-oval in plan and is flat. One surface is smooth and worn while the opposite face has a raised ridge, possibly a casting seem. Dimensions: 30mm in length, 25mm in width, 5mm thick, 14.4g Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. As casting waste represents re-usable metal, it was often retained and regularly turns up in founder's hoards. It can however also be found in isolation. The object has a dark grey patina suggesting a post-medieval date is probable.

A probable piece of casting waste of uncertain date. The object is U-shaped in plan and irregular in cross section. One face is relatively flat and smooth while the opposite face is of varying thickness. Adhering to the object is a black carbon deposit often found on the feet of cooking vessels. It is possible that this object is a medieval cooking vessel foot such as LVPL-142D8A or LVPL-4CD149 however due to the uneven thickness this is questionable. Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. As casting waste represents re-usable metal, it was often retained and regularly…

Copper alloy metal working waste of uncertain date. The large piece measures 56mm in length, 65mm in width, 25mm thick and weighs, 277.70g. Five smaller fragments or droplets of metal working waste were recovered close to the larger piece. The waste is un-diagnostic but does indicate metal working may have taken place in the area.

An undiagnostic lead alloy rectangular object, possibly an off-cut from metal working, of uncertain date and function. The object is rectangular in plan with rounded edges and is rectangular in cross-section. It is undecorated on each face. The object has a light white patina which suggests it is likely to date to the medieval period or earlier. However due to the absence of diagnostic features this remains uncertain. Dimensions: 40mm in length, 23mm in width, 4mm thick, 44.9g

Two possible fragments of casting waste of uncertain date. The smaller object is sub-oval in cross-section and irregular in plan. It has a light green patina. The larger piece is formed of a lozenge sectioned bar which terminates with a recent break. The opposite end expands forming a circular terminal below which is a semi-circular projection to one side. It has a brownish green patina and an undulating surface.

A copper alloy casting sprue/jet of uncertain date. The object is sub-rectangular in plan with a central sub-triangular sectioned projection from one face. The object is undecorated and has a corroded light green surface. At the base of the object is a small patch of adhering black material, possibly carbon, with iron staining below. Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. They are waste products which form at the top of a two-piece clay mould when the moulten metal has filled the object-shaped void below. As they represent re-usable metal, they were often retained and re…

A fragment of cast lead alloy casting waste of uncertain date. The object is oval in plan with two conical jets, where the lead poured down into the mould, on one face. The opposite face is flat. The object has a powdery mid-white patina. Material such as this is difficult to date due to its undiagnosic nature but may indicate metal working in the area at some point.

Cast copper alloy casting waste of uncertain date. This fragment is from the neck (funnel / well) of a composite probably two part mould. The casting waste is conical; being oval in plan and D shaped in cross section. The base of the casting waste is irregular with the remains of two runners / casting jets being present. These jets / runners are heavily abraded. The sides show no evidence of casting seams although they are also similarly abraded. The surface of the object is rough and pitted with a mid green patina. Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. The survival of c…
