Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from the rim of a cast and turned leaded copper alloy vessel, most probably dating to the Medieval period. Given the thickness and the weight of the fragment it is most likely to be from a small domestic mortar like vessel. None of the surfaces are decorated but all have several scratches and abrasions. Given the small size of the fragment an estimate of vessel size is not possible - however it is likely to be fairly large (having a diameter in excess of 20cm) The fragmnent measures: 7.86mm thick, 64.28mm in length, 23.59mm in width and weigh 43.2 grams

Broad period: NEOLITHIC
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete fabricator or possibly the remains of a snapped flint knife blade of uncertain date but most probably from the late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. The fabricator is formed on an oval sectioned rod of knapped flint - which has been substantially worked on both ventral and dorsal faces. The flaking present can be described as invasive stepped and low angled. The entire external cutting edges are ground with significant pressure damage on the cutting edge from use. Dr Kevin Leahy states 'fabricators are difficult to date and a wide range must be suggested.' Therefor…

A copper alloy cast vessel leg / pot-leg, probably from a tripod cooking vessel, of post-medieval date. A wide but tentative date of AD 1200-1600 can be given. The object consists of an almost complete pot leg with a sub conical shape, with a pronounced leg beneath. There is some swelling at the foot, although this is not clearly defined due to erosion and corrosion. The leg is not decorated and likely from a crude domestic vessel. The object has a length of 19.39mm, a width of 17.04mm and height of 22.02mm; it weighs 12.78 grams.

Rim sherd of a thick walled earthen ware vessel of probable late medieval date (1350-1500). This sherd is relatively large and thick. It probably comes from the neck of a large storage jar or possibly a jug / flagon. The fabric is relatively soft with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit, iron stone and broken burnt pottery inclusions. The fabric colour is two-tone, the outer a mid orange oxidised and the inner (core) a mid grey. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. The outer surface of the vessel seems s…

Fragment from the rim of a cast leaded copper alloy turned vessel of probable late medieval to post medieval date (1400 - 1650). The fragment is worn and irregular in plan and bowed in profile. It is likely to be from the rim of a large dish, bowl, or cooking vessel. The vessel fragment is a mid-green colour with a polished patina which survives well on all surfaces. The underside is heavily 'brushed' but patinated suggesting that this occurred in antiquity. Due to the size of the fragment a projected diameter cannot be suggested. The fragment measures 48.1mm wide, 40.0mm high, is …
