Prehistoric pottery sherd The fragment is irregular (28.2mm long, 22.4mm wide and up to 11.2mm thick, with a weight of 5.7g). Two of the breaks are old, while the other appears to be more recent. The fabric has a buff oxidised exterior surface but the interior is grey and appears reduced. Frequent angular quartz inclusions are present within the sherd of small and medium size. There is the suggestion of a linear decorative line on the surface, although uncertain. The sherd is a wall sherd and is likely to be of Early Bronze Age date (c. 2000 – 1500BC). The wall thickn…

Iron Age copper alloy zoomorphic vessel mount or cup handle of 1st or 2nd century AD date The mount depicts a bird, probably a goose and is incomplete, broken at one end (with a surviving length of 28.5mm, a surviving depth of 23.0mm and a weight of 17.5g). The terminal of the mount is in the form of a bird’s head, with a protruding pointed beak of subtriangular section (3.6mm long). The start of the beak was defined by grooves, now corroded. The head of the goose is globular (with a maximum diameter of 11.5mm) and the eyes are inset with bright blue glass spherical beads (of 1…

Copper alloy vessel rim and handle fragment of uncertain date, possibly medieval The cast vessel is fragmentary, represented by a rim fragment (40.5mm long) and the upper part of the handle (40.5mm deep and weighing 49.2g), soldered together. The vessel rim has little curvature across its width, suggesting a vessel of sizeable diameter. The outside of the vessel is straight along its length (23.1mm surviving length) and has no decoration. The interior of the rim is rounded (with a vessel thickness of 4.7mm). The vessel handle is positioned level with the top of the rim and is per…

An incomplete Medieval or Post Medieval vessel fragment consisting of part of the leg and foot, probably from a cauldron or skillet (c.AD 1200-1700). The leg is rectangular in plan and trapezoidal in section with the front surface of the leg wider and narrowing at the back. The leg is concave starting at a break from old damage (36.1mm x 11.7mm) and curving outwards, widening slightly at the foot (44.1mm x 24.1mm). A longitudinal raised central midrib 5.5mm wide decorates the front and runs down the leg 36mm from the break flanked by a shallow concave surface. The back is plain and un…

An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel foot of Roman date. The object is crudely pelta shaped, with a central triangular projection and flanking lobes on one edge, the other being convex. The object is covered by soil, with areas of corrosion disrupting the dark green patinated surface. One end of the object is broken, leading to a reduced length. Pelta shaped vessel feet are well documented, with many examples recorded on the PAS database (e.g. PUBLIC-749A73 and ESS-8C8A14), and excavated from Roman contexts such as in Caerleon (Brewer, 1986, pg. 173). They are believed to have…

The mouth (60.7mm wide and 35.9mm long) has a stepped moulding (with a depth of 7.3mm - 13.9mm and 5mm thick) on the curved part only. One of the corners is higher (giving a maximum overall height of 34.5mm) and has a spout-like form. The interior of the vessel is uneven (28mm deep). The rear and underside of the vessel are flat, with no obvious means of attachment. The surface has a grey patina with white corrosion. …

The possible handle is of D-shaped section at the break (26.8mm wide and 14.7mm thick) and has straight, slightly converging sides towards the terminal. The face is near flat, slightly concave along its length and is decorated with a panel within a raised border, comprising an interlace design in sunken relief. It is likely that the interlace depicts two intertwined beasts and appears to have a rear facing head a…
