A fragment of copper alloy and enamel zoomorphic vessel mount of probable late Iron Age to early Roman date (c. 50 BC to 100 AD). The object is zoomorphic, cast in the form of the stylised head of a beast with the lower jaw cut away in order to fit onto a vessel rim. The head is 21.3mm long, 12.1mm thick and 12.3mm wide, with an 8.4mm long snout with a flared, flat tip similar to a pig or boar. The lower 6.8mm of the jaw is cut out to a dept of c. 3.2mm. The rounded head has two 2.8mm diameter circular drilled eyes and is decorated on top of the cranium by two symmetrical comma shape…

An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel mount, possibly a bucket escutcheon of (probably later) Iron Age to early Roman date (c. 150 BC-AD 100). The object is incomplete, missing part of the left attachment lobe and an uncertain length of the hooked rear projection. The integrally cast object has a broadly trilobed form in plan, with two symmetrical comma-shaped perforated attachment lobes at the base (the left lobe is incomplete) and a larger upper lobe forming a suspension loop (maximum internal diameter 8.mm). The attachment lobes are thinner (c. 2.7mm thick) and set slightly at an …

A fragmentary Post Medieval ceramic sherd from a vessel base, probably a handled cup/mug (‘tyg’) or jar, of 17th century AD date. The fragment is black glazed red ‘Cistercian’ ware with a surviving height of 21.0mm and width of 33.7mm. A sharp fragment is adhered to the inside surface of the base indicating an explosion in the kiln or misfire likely damaged this vessel beyond repair. The fragment has a smooth black glaze with a reddish fabric and weighs 8.85g. A similar fragment can be seen Gloucester pottery fabric type series (potsherd.net)

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
