The cast copper alloy handle from a skillet or posnet of probable post medieval date. The handle measures 78.7mm by 23.2mm by 18.4mm and weighs 87.3g. The main part of the handle has a flat upper surface and a convex base, forming a D-shaped cross section. It narrows slightly towards the dropped zoomorphic terminal. The flat part of the handle is decorated with incised lines based around central lozenges. A similar handle can be seen in 'Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Exeter 1971-80.' (1984, p. 345, fig. 192, no. 159). The Exeter example is not closely dated but is pre-18th century.

A rim sherd from a Coarse Sandy ware bowl of early post-medieval date. The sandy fabric is oxidised with slightly reduced surfaces and external sooting. It contains moderate fine mica. The bowl would originally have had a flat rim with an external upwards projecting flange, a rim form which may have acted as a lid seat. The bowl's body would have then narrowed at an angle of about 45 degrees and was probably internally glazed. A similar bowl is illustrated in 'Medieval and Post-Medieval Finds from Exeter' (1984, pp. 152-3, fig. 67 no. 1A). It is likely to be a south Somerset product. T…

A rim sherd from large storage jar of probable 17th century date. The reduced earthenware fabric has some oxidised patches on the surface and contains moderate very small rounded quartz, occasional small sub-rounded black iron-rich particles and sparse small sub-rounded oolithic limestone. The sherd is internally and externally glazed with a brownish-green lead glaze. The curvature of the flat rim indicates a former rim diameter of c. 340mm. It is slightly recessed, possibly to take a lid. The dark colour of the fabric suggests that it may come from an East Devon/West Somerset producti…

A handle sherd of probable seventeenth century date. The sherd has a quatrefoil-shaped cross-section and probably formed part of the handle of a bucket pot. The fabric contains abundant very fine (>0.1mm) quartz sand, moderate small (>2.5mm) rounded iron oxide and moderate very fine mica particles. The mica appears to be more common on the surfaces. The sherd has light orange oxidised surfaces and a reduced grey core. There are traces of a yellow lead glaze in several places. It was probably a product of one of the South Somerset production centres. Dimensions: 47mm by 21.5mm by 18.…
