Cast copper alloy rim fragment of a vessel of probable Medieval or Post-medieval date. Length 57mm, width 28mm and 4mm thick. Weight 23.85g. The inside of the fragment has some pitting and scratch-marks and possesses a shiny mid-green patina. The outer surface is coarse and pitted in contrast. As viewed in plan, the outer surface has file marks in the left hand corner. The break is old and the fragment appears to be in a stable condition. It can be estimated, by measuring the curvature of the rim that the complete vessel was about 24cms in diameter at the rim.

Rim fragment of a copper alloy vessel of probable Post-medieval date. The breaks are old. Length 28mm, width 59mm and 5mm thick. Weight 35.68g. From the curvature of the rim it can be estimated that the diameter of the vessel at the rim would have been about 28cm. The fragment has a mid-green coloured patina overall. There are a number of fine scratch marks on the inner surface which is very smooth and shiny in contrast to the outer surface which is coarse and dull. The scratches were probably created whilst the vessel was in use.

Fragment of a roughly cast copper alloy vessel of probable Medieval date, possibly c. 1400 AD - c. 1450 AD. Length 55mm, width 62mm and 51mm thick. Weight c. 546g. The fragment is the basal part (the foot) of a vessel leg and is the form of a lion’s paw (?five-toed). The underside of the paw is flat and the rear of the paw is also flat. However, the angle between these two faces is about 110º so that the leg of the vessel was inclined slightly inwards towards the centre of the vessel. The break is old.
