Two substantial cast fragments from an iron cauldron of Medieval to Post-Medieval date, with a combined total weight of 207.70g.

On the outer face there is a second parallel moulded ridge approximately half way down the fragment, with traces of a similar, third ridge at the base of the sherd. The small cast handle is round in section and triangular in s…

At first sight it looks like a rim mend (cf. Egan 1998 fig. 135) but the wider faces are not curved along their length - instead, the complete shorter face is curved. It seems therefore more likely to be the flat handle of an iron skillet which has been largely encased (all apart from perhaps the bottom face) in copper alloy, and with one long side no…
