A fragment probably from the rim of a copper alloy cooking vessel, probably of Medieval to post-Medieval date, about AD 1100 - 1900. Only a small portion of the rim survives, too small to estimate the rim diameter. The remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn and patinated. The rim is thickened and slightly everted. The fragment has a dark grey patina. The outer face is dark uneven with sooting, which suggests it is from a vessel rather than a bell. The inner face is smooth. https://finds.org.uk/counties/findsrecordingguides/bells/ notes …

The leg from a cast, copper alloy cooking pot or similar vessel of the medieval period, dating to approximately AD 1250-1600. It is broadly D-shaped in section. The back is flat, smooth and undecorated, while the lower front part of the leg flares out to form a flat, standing surface with three broad, concave facets, giving the impression of an animal's foot, either toed or clawed. These grooved facets continue up the remaining length of the leg forming two distinct ridges. The top of the leg is flat and undamaged.

A fragment of a copper alloy vessel of Post-Medieval date, about AD 1650 - 1850. The fragment is the leg of a cooking vessel such as a skillet. The leg is shield shaped in plan and D-shaped in cross-section expanding towards the top where it would have joined with the vessel proper. It is undecorated and tapers to a thin point at the base. The metal has a dark black/green patina and has patches of iron corrosion. The fragment height is 57mm, 36mm wide, 18mm thick and weighs 36g.
