Copper alloy probable vessel fragment. Cast plano-convex section fragment from a cauldron leg with a pronounced moulded rib on its outer side, flat behind. Raggedly broken at both ends of its short remaining extent. This might suggest multiple casting flaws, the vigorous dismantling of an object for recycling, or recurrent plough-strike damage - pot legs are robust objects and this pattern of breakage is unusual. So too, for a cauldron leg, is the lack of sooting - though black spots were observed on the magnified views achieved during image processing, so this could have been part of …

Copper alloy vessel fragment. Cast vessel leg with a single central longitudinal rib on its outer side and with a flat to slightly concave back. Tapered slightly towards a flat base; broken raggedly across the top. There is only a slight trace of sooting on the ribbed side, which might suggest this object to have been detached from an item of formal tableware such as a ewer rather than from a cauldron.

A copper alloy Pot Leg of Medieval to Post-Medieval date (AD 1200-1700), possibly from an early posnet. The object has a sub-rectangular cross section. The lower end of the object is rhas a raised ridge in the centre of the foot, with some corrosion visible. The upper end of the leg is irregular due to being broken in antiquity, so it is not possible to see the full length of the leg or the point at which the leg would affix to the vessel body.  The metal is dark green in colour with a slightly pitted and corroded patina.

A fragment of a copper alloy cooking vessel dating to the Medieval to Post-Medieval periods (c. AD 1200-1700). The fragment appears to be a rim sherd probably from an unknown vessel. The sherd has an incised line creating a border towards the edge of the rim. The sherd then curves outward to a concave profile.  The fragment is dark green in colour. It is heavily scratched and pitted, both on the interior and exterior surfaces, which are nevertheless fairly smooth. Butler, Green and Payne (2009:1) mention that cast copper alloy vessels (cauldron…

It consists of a short bar that passed through the supporting lug, from which the two sides protrude at obtuse angles. The sides curve slightly away from the bar; terminating in historic breaks. One side has a right angle bend before the break. The complete handle would probably have been sub-triangular.  The incomplete support lug for a…
