A copper alloy object of uncertain date and function. The object consists of a long arm which is oval in cross-section. At one end the arm tapers in width to form an integral pointed oval terminal. The terminal is sub-triangular in cross-section with one flat face. At the opposite end of the object is a bifurcated terminal which is incomplete. The purpose of each terminal is unclear. Projecting from the centre of the object is a sub-rectangular tab, one end of which tapers in width and curls inwards on itself. One end of this may be incomplete however it is difficult to be certain.…

Object type: CASTING WASTE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cheshire West and Chester

A probable piece of casting waste of uncertain date. The object is U-shaped in plan and irregular in cross section. One face is relatively flat and smooth while the opposite face is of varying thickness. Adhering to the object is a black carbon deposit often found on the feet of cooking vessels. It is possible that this object is a medieval cooking vessel foot such as LVPL-142D8A or LVPL-4CD149 however due to the uneven thickness this is questionable. Casting waste is very hard to date in isolation. As casting waste represents re-usable metal, it was often retained and regularly…

A fragment of a zoomorphic object of uncertain date and function. The object has a sub-triangular body which is sub-rectangular in cross-section. The body of the object divides at the top terminating with two rounded projections or ears. The ears are concave on the outer face of the object and convex at the rear.

A lead alloy object of uncertain date and function. The object consists of four conjoined oval projections each with a raised central pellet. The outer edges of the object are undulating and the rear is uneven and irregular. The object appears to be an unfinished peace where the edges have not been filed down and the ovals left un-separated (if they were intended to be separated) however its function is unknown. Another possibility is that it a cast jet with the runners removed and therefore is casting waste. The object has a smooth mid-white patina. Dimensions: 54mm in len…
