A fragment of a copper-alloy medieval to post-medieval cooking vessel. Only the foot survuves. This is rectangular in plan. It tapers slightly downwards, terminating in a simple, out-turned foot. On the outer surface, a central, vertical ridge protudes out of the middle, running down to the foot. The inner surface is flat and smooth. This is an example of Bulter et al.'s (2009) Type A, which dates from the medieval to post-medieval period.

A complete lead vessel repair (pot mend). The object is formed from two flattened irregularly shaped discs with a narrower section between them. These objects were used as crude repairs for holes in ceramic vessels from the Roman period onwards. They changed little in form, making them difficult to date precisely. Although a small amount of pottery can be seen within the circumferential groove, this is too small to provide any disgnostic information.

A fragment of a leg from a copper-alloy cooking vessel of probable post-medieval date. Only a section of the upper leg survives. This is roughly triangular in cross-section with a raised rib running longitudinally down the centre of the outer face. It is very irregular in shape suggesting that it may have been poorly cast during manufacture rather than just damaged from use.  This leg is probably an example of Butler et al's (2009, 4 & fig.4) Type A, a simple form which seems to have had a long chronology dating from the medieval period to at least the…
