A copper alloy Medieval or Post Medieval, circa AD 1250-1600 cooking vessel leg. The fragment is broadly trapezoidal in profile. The upper edge has a broken terminal where the leg would have once attached to the pot. The sides then flare to the lower edge which is slightly angled and flat in order for the vessel to stand. On the outer face the basal end is moulded and expands. There are three broad ribs that run longitudinally. The opposing internal face is flat and then at the lower edge that allows th epot to sit it expands slightly to form a protruding lip. The fragment …

A Medieval or Post Medieval (12th to mid 19th century) cooking vessel leg: The foot is a 'hoof' type. In plan it is a sub-rectangle, with an obliquely angled break across the foot. This break is not recent as the patina matches the surface of the leg. The upper edge is broken and again it is not a recent break. In profile the reverse of the leg is straight and in section it is sub semi-circular. The lower portion of the front face is rounded, decorated with two, slightly radiating, wide vertical ribs on the remaining half of the foot. Above there is a transverse collar in the form of …

Medieval to Post Medieval (1350-1700) vessel handle: The copper alloy handle, which has been cast, is broadly sub-rectangular in plan and tapers to a rounded blunted point.

A cast copper alloy cooking vessel fragment (length: 73.5mm; width: 31mm; thickness: 3.5mm; weight: 38.98g). At one end of the fragment, the vessel seems to curve outwards, possibly towards a rim? The artefact is in a fair condition with general corrosion on both sides. On the probable inner side of the vessel, the surface has a dark green patina, while the outer surface has a dark green-back patina. It is impossible to date this fragment specifically, but it is most likely to date to the Medieval or post-Medieval period.

Elongated sub-rectangular shape which tapers towards the base when stood vertical. The section of the leg is slightly trapezoidal. The upper end face of the leg is square and is slightly wider than the rest of the leg. The edges of this upper end face are broken. The patina over these edges suggests that the item was broken in antiquity. The face itself is very smooth and is angled c. 45º to the leg. The outer vertical face of the leg is slightly curved towards the base. The foot, which is a horizontal edge is slightly worn.
