An incomplete cast copper-alloy vessel leg from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods, circa 1200-1700. The pot leg is sub-triangular in section, with a flat back and five worn, rounded, vertical ribs to the front. The fragment has two breaks, one of which appears to be more recent, with a lighter green patina and angular edges. The remaining surface has a dark green patina. The leg is probably from a skillet used for cooking and serving food. Height of leg: 18.49 mm. Width: 24.67 mm. Thickness:12.08 mm. Weight: 26 grams. Similar examples can be seen on WILT-F10A25 and DOR-B405E2.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy cooking vessel leg/foot of medieval topost-Medieval date, circa 1250-1750. In section, the foot is eliptical, with the base thickened and flared forward. The leg lacks the prominant vertical central ridge seen in most examples. The break appears to have happened in antiquity. The leg has heavy deposits of black which is probably sooty/carbon deposits from the cooking process on open fires. It seems probable that this leg is from a cauldron. Height of leg: 35.24 mm.

A large cast copper-alloy foot fragment from a cooking vessel of later medieval to post-medieval date, possibly a cauldron given its size. The object is trapezoidal in form and narrows from a width of 47.5mm at the point it has broken to 30.15mm at its terminal. It also thins, from 22.8mm thick at the point it has broken to c. 8.0mm at its terminal. A central rib runs up the front of the foot, this also thins with the foot. The break reveals that the leg had a trapezoidal cross-section with a triangular protrusion for the rib; the front is wider. This form of foot is comparable to the…
