A fragmentary cast copper alloy fragment, possibly of Late Medieval date (c.15th-16th century AD). The fragment is a piece of a rim from a large cauldron measuring 11.6mm long x 7.9mm wide x 27.4mm-25.4mm thick. The rim has a very slightly expanded lip on the inside surface before tapering slightly to the edge and the outer surface is flat with no traces of decoration surviving. Two rivets hold a sheet of copper alloy in place (surviving length 27.1mm, max surviving width 15.6mm) likely repairing a crack on the inside surface of the cauldron. These types of rivets are common in Medieva…

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…

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 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 …

Cast copper alloy ewer or laver spout of late Medieval date, probably dating from the 15-16th centuries. The spout is shaped in the form of a duck's head. Many ewer spouts are in the form of dog's heads such as the example recovered from Cardiff Castle (Lewis 1991, 4, fig. 8A), although duck head spouts have been recorded. The duck eyes are defined by an incised circular ring, the bill is open with a protruding short barrel emerging from the animal's mouth. The top of the animal's head is decorated with short incised lines at the centre and above the brows.

Copper-alloy leg from a medieval or post-medieval cooking vessel, perhaps a cauldron or skillet. This is a short rectangular-sectioned leg with a bevelled base resulting in the bottom of the leg forming a narrow edge. The leg has broken at the junction with the body of the vessel, and rises to become expanded, with a concave upper surface. The patina and corrosion of the fragment suggests burning, as would be expected with a cooking vessel.

Rim fragment of a vessel, probably of Late Medieval date. The fragment is relatively thin and is suggestive of a vessel with a comparatively small rim diameter (originally approximately 70mm), possibly suggesting a fragment from a jug or tankard, similar to a mid 14th century tankard found at Caerphilly Castle (Lewis, 1978). The vessel has an incised or turned decorative band on the exterior, at the position of slight shoulder, two narrower incised lines flank the band.
