Two fragments of a copper-alloy handle for a vessel of Post Medieval dating circa AD 1400-1800. There are two objects, one larger and one smaller. The larger is U-shaped and circular in cross section, formed of twisted wire. It is slightly thicker one one end, where the original metal is slightly visible, and tapers towards the thinner end. The smaller object is made of the same twisted wire. It is thinner and has a smaller curve. This fragment also has a break on the thicker end where the metal is visible, before tapering towards its thinner end. Both ob…

A Post Medieval lead alloy bird feeder, dating circa AD 1400-1800.  The vessel is D shaped in section, being flat at the back and rounded at the front. The object has been squashed and in misshapen, with areas of the top lip broken and curving inwards. The base retains the basic D-shape, albeit in a rather flattened form, and has a small circular hole in the centre, possibly for drainage. The object has a (now crushed) opening at the top. The front of the object has an upper rim, which extends below and tapers towrads a lower rim. Below this the object has inward curving wa…

A handle sherd dating to the medieval period, likely part of a cooking pot. The sherd is a short handle in its entirety that has broken at the point where it would have met the body of the vessel, the surface roughly textured and largely abraded. The sherd can be identified as a handle by its shape and a thumb-shaped indentation on the upper surface, which indicates how it would have been held. The sherd is predominantly salmon pink in colour with some areas of grey. There are abundant quartz inclusions as well as abundant inclusions that appear as small dark brown or black spots. Ther…

A medieval rim sherd. The colour of the sherd is inconsistent: the salmon inner surface is the most uniform in colour, and the margins are mostly grey save for the top of the rim which is also salmon-coloured. The outer surface has areas of salmon as well as grey, but also features two distinct areas of green glaze which retains its sheen. The fabric is largely abraded and contains abundant grey inclusions as well as quartz. Mica inclusions are more sparsely visible. On the inner surface towards the top of the rim and the margin there is a significant void of 6.1mm in length.…

A sherd from a vessel dating to the medieval period. The fabric is predominantly grey in colour except for the inner surface which is salmon-coloured, and for some areas of the core and margins where there are sections of brown. The texture is grainy, particularly on the inner surface where there are abundant inclusions visible, mostly grey in colour, the largest of which is 1.5mm in length though the majority are much smaller. There are moderate mica inclusions throughout the fabric, and on the outer surface there are some quartz inclusions visible. There remains a layer of green…
