Probable vessel fragment, possibly a handle of Early Medieval date The object is incomplete, broken at one end (with a surviving length of 101.9mm and a weight of 197.7g). 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…

Copper alloy handle, possibly of Roman date The object is incomplete, broken at the narrow end (with a surviving length of 38.0mm and a weight of 4.5g). The complete end is of oval section and is rounded with an expanded terminal (with a width of 10.0mm and a thickness of 3.6mm). The handle gradually narrows towards a decorative double-ribbed moulding, which all the way around the fitting. The damaged end thins, as if to a blade (with a thickness of 1.1mm). The surface has a dark-green patina. It is possible that the object is the handle of a medical or cosmetic implement of Rom…

Late medieval to post medieval copper alloy cooking vessel fragment, probably from a cauldron or skillet of 15th to 18th century date The vessel comprises a rim fragment from the vessel (59.3mm long, 30.2mm wide and 2.2mm thick). The rim was outcurved and suggests a vessel diameter of approximately 250mm. Sheet copper alloy plate (0.7mm thick) was secondarily riveted to the rim and is crudely worked. The plate is folded around vessel rim and attached using two copper alloy rivets (10.8mm long). The plate is irregularly rectangular (51.3mm long and 46.0mm wide) and both top corners …

Late Medieval copper alloy ewer spout, probably of 15th century date The zoomorphic ewer spout is in the form of a dog's head with the spout protruding from the open mouth. The spout is fragmentary, represented by the terminal (with a surviving length of 52.3mm and a weight of 50.4g). The dog is portrayed with oval and upright ears, protruding above the brow (by 1.2mm) and are concave across their widths. The snout is defined by a concave depression, flat along the upper surface and terminating in a raised projection. There is a subtle central ridge across the top of the dog's head, …

A fragmentary cast copper alloy vessel handle from a pot or skillet, likely of Post Medieval date. The handle is cylindrical, circular in plan and measures 98.7mm in length. The handle is thickest at the end with a max diameter of 19.1mm. The end of the handle is smooth and flat with no evidence of percussion marks. The handle tapers gradually from the end and flattens slightly before curving towards the break resulting in a thickness of 12.8mm and width of 14.8mm. The broken end retains some original surface (4.8mm from external surface to break surface) which informs on the way the …

A cast copper alloy vessel fragment of Medieval or Post Medieval date. The fragment comprises the foot of a potleg, likely for a cooking vessel (74.5mm long, 27.9mm wide at the bottom of the foot, 33.7mm wide at the break, 15.1mm max depth). The potleg is sub-trapezoidal in section, reaching its widest point at the break and tapers gradually to the foot. Much of one surface is covered in iron corrosion product suggesting iron was present in the deposition environment. The metal is a mottled green patina and weighs 152.28g. The proximity of other fragmentary vessels (NMGW-BC7A86,…

A fragmentary cast copper alloy vessel fragment of Medieval or Post Medieval date (c.1300-1700). The fragment comprises the foot of a pot leg, likely for a cooking vessel (38.8mm long, 50.8mm at the bottom of the foot, 13.9mm max thickness). The foot is sub-trapezoidal in section with a raised central ridge running the length. Traces of black coating preserve on the surface. The object is a mottled green patina with patches of orange corrosion suggesting iron was present in the deposition environment and weighs 99.22g. Similar objects are recorded on the PAS database e.g. SWYOR-…

A cast copper alloy vessel fragment of Medieval or Post Medieval date. The fragment is comprises the foot of a pot leg, likely from a cooking vessel (35.1mm long, 55.8mm wide at the bottom of foot, 41.4mm wide at the break, max depth 25.1mm). The foot is sub-trapezoidal in section with traces of a raised central ridge just before the break. Much of the original surface has been lost to old damage, removing any detail that may have decorated the potleg. The object is a mottled green patina and weighs 219.4g. The proximity of other fragmentary vessels (NMGW-BC6CB0, NMGW-BC3FC6, NM…

Two fragments of Pewter or copper alloy- one possible vessel rim. Little diagnostic but maybe a medieval or post medieval vessel. A fragment 46.4mm long, 19.8mmwide and a maximum of 1.5mm thick, weighs 5.07g. The fragment has a channel beaten in lengthways with flanking ridges. One long edge is thinner that the other- 0.9mm vs 1.3mm. Possible vessel rim, but every edge is a break, and no other diagnostic features. Form of the sheet gives little indication as to shape due to distortion. A fragment 33mm long, 19.1mm wide, maximum 2.7mm thick, weighs 6.42g. Every edge is a b…
