A fragment of a Post Medieval vessel dating from AD1500 - AD1700. The sherd has been wheelthrown and has a black fabric. The inner surface has been treated with a mid brown mottled slip. The outer surface is very pitted and abraded. The fragment is a body sherd and is therefore undiagnostic. It is also unclear what type of vessel the sherd came from. The sherd measures 28.45mm in height, 30.92mm in width, 6.28mm in thickness and weighs 6.66g.

A fragment of a probably Medieval vessel dating from AD1100 - AD1500. The sherd has been wheelthrown and has a mid orange fabric with a black, unoxidised core. The inner surface has been treated with a brown slip whilst the slip on the outer surface is black. Along one edge is a strip of yellow slip measuring 10.67mm in width. The fragment is a body sherd and is therefore undiagnostic. It is also unclear what type of vessel the sherd came from. The sherd measures 30.82mm in height, 48.58mm in width, 6.14mm in thickness and weighs 11.00g.

A fragment of a Medieval vessel dating from AD1100 - AD1500. The sherd has been wheelthrown and has a mid orange fabric. Both the outer and the inner surfaces have been treated with a green glaze although it has mostly worn away from the outer surface. The fragment is a base sherd but is too small to be diagnostic. It is therefore also unclear what type of vessel the sherd came from. The sherd measures 42.74mm in length, 20.56mm in width, 6.96mm in thickness and weighs 10.73g.

A fragment of a Medieval vessel dating from AD1100 - AD1500. The sherd has been wheelthrown and has a mid orange fabric. Both the outer and the inner surfaces have been treated with a green glaze. The inner surface glaze is browner than the outer. Along one edge of the outer surface is a strip of yellow slip below the glaze measuring 3.26mm in width. The fragment is a body sherd and as such is undiagnostic. It is therefore also unclear what type of vessel the sherd came from. The sherd measures 30.27mm in height, 24.84mm in width, 6.35mm in thickness and weighs 5.22g.

A fragment of a Post Medieval stoneware vessel dating from AD1500 - AD1700. The sherd has been wheelthrown and has a hard grey fabric. The outer surface has been treated with a salt glaze that has formed a mottled brown effect. The fragment is a body sherd and as such is undiagnostic although it may possibly come from the base of the vessel as the walls become thicker at the bottom. It is therefore also unclear what type of vessel the sherd came from. The sherd measures 39.26mm in height, 60.09mm in width, 6.89mm in thickness and weighs 27.96g.

County: Essex
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Post Medieval cast pewter shoe or knee buckle dating from AD1660 - AD1720. The buckle is sub annular and symmetrical with two central drilled holes which would have held a separate spindle making the buckle double looped. The spindle, and thus the pin, has now been lost. The buckle has a moulded decoration on the front. This is formed of four rounded knops at the four 'corners'. The two upper and the two lowers knops are linked to each other by a raised line following the curve of the loops. In the centre of these lines, where the spindle would have attached, is a pointed knop. The …

Three fragments of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy spoon dating from AD1500 - AD1700. The fragments are worn and abraded suggesting old breaks. They join together to form most of the drop shaped bowl and the handle. The largest fragment has been bent over and twisted so that it forms a U shape with the handle at one end and the bowl fragment at the other. The handle is flat and rectangular in cross section and terminates in an old transverse break. The handle measures 37.10mm in length, 6.90mm in width and 2.07mm in thickness.

A fragment of a Medieval to Post Medieval cast copper alloy cooking vessel rim fragment dating from AD1250 - AD1850. The fragment is decorated with a thickened band, measuring 5.16mm in width, around the edge just below the rim. The fragment is too small to determine the original diameter of the vessel.

A Post Medieval cast lead alloy bag or bale seal dating from AD1600 - AD1800. The seal is circular and flat. It is formed of a single disc which is perforated across its diameter. On both edges this creates a sub rectangular apperture but on one a strip of lead runs down the centre creating two holes. One face has a series of pellets in one quadrant, the rest of the face is worn and illegible. The other face is also too worn to determine what was depicted on it. The seal measures 13.05mm in diameter, 4.65mm in thickness and weighs 2.91g.
