The base of a leg of a cast copper alloy cooking vessel (such as a cauldron, a posnet or a skillet) of medieval or post-medieval date. The leg measures 53.6mm by 39.5mm by 14.6mm and weighs 127g. It has a D-shaped cross-section with a flat front and rounded back. The leg widens towards the flat but uneven D-shaped base. It would have been one of three on a complete vessel.

A rim shard, with mend, from a copper alloy Medieval or Post-Medieval vessel. Given its small size it is difficult to suggest what kind of vessel the shard originated from and therefore it is difficult to date more precisely than this. The shard consists of a small narrow portion of the rim of a vessel. Along the inside edge of the rim is a slightly raised ridge. A small hole just below the rim holds the remains of a rivet, which was apparently used to mend this small break. The shard is very small making it difficult to measure the original circumference of the vessel. The metal is da…

Post medieval cast copper alloy foot from a cooking vessel. It is roughly D-shaped in section, with flattened reverse and three ribs running down the convex front. The foot has a rounded base and is separated from the leg by a prominent rounded collar on the front. It has broken just above the collar with an old break. It measures 30.8mm in length, 24.9mm in width, 13.1mm in thickness and weighs 38g. Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pg 4) suggest that the ribbed leg and raised collar design was in use in the 16th Century and widespread by the 17th.
