Cast copper alloy pot leg from a cooking vessel. The leg is roughly triangular in section from side to side The front of the leg has raised central ridge running from top to bottom. A rounded pot would usually have been supported by three such legs. These legs vary in design, shape and dimensions and are broadly dated from the the mid-late medieval period to the early post-medieval period (c.1350-1650) due to a lack of excavated examples from securely datable contexts.

Double-conical lead weight with central vertical perforation, ca. 9mm wide. The weight is decorated in high-relief on both sides: while one surface displays a six pointed star with raised dots between the spikes of the star, the other shows a very crude pattern of alternating lines and dots. This kind of lead weight is a very frequent metal-detecting find, especially on ploughed and pasture land. There is some archaeological evidence for these lead weights to have been used as spindle whorls in the 16th/17th century (pers. comm. Dr Kevin Leahy), but has been suggested that they could …
