A cast copper alloy pot leg dating to the post medieval period, c. 1600-1750. The leg is triangular in section and rectangular in shape, the triangular sectional appearance is  caused by a tall  central midrib which extends downwards in the centre of the object. It is unusually broken at the upper area, with the break occurring midway down the leg rather than at the point where the leg meets the body.  Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from AD1200 to 1700 for serving and cooking. Legs and feet are the most commonly recorded finds and Butler et alii&n…

A cast copper alloy pot leg dating to the post medieval period, c. 1500-1750. The leg is D-shaped in cross section with a flat back and a convex front. It has three conjoined convex ribs on the outer face, evenly spaced apart and very shallow. Above the ribs is a raised fetlock which runs horizontally across the outer face. The break is directly above this fetlock, but the ribs continue above it up to the break, and survive in better condition here.  Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used from AD1200 to 1700 for serving and cooking. Legs and feet are the most …

A fragment of glass, part (about half) of the circular base of a vessel, probably a wine or brandy bottle, of Post Medieval date, perhaps c AD 1600 -1800. The glass was perhaps originally dark green or blue, now translucent, and all surfaces, including the broken edges are now coated with pearlescence. The outer surface, however is more cloudy. The lower/underside of the fragment is a domed punt ('push-up' or 'kick-up') from the base. A jagged low section of the wall of the bottle is part of the fragment. There are no seam or mould marks on the extant fragment, so probably free-blown,…

Below the collar the foot continues and has a rounded, blunt terminal, widening a little at the extreme end such that here it is more oval in section. It has a pale green patina with blackening on all outside surfaces. The foot meas…
