A highly abraded Post-medieval ceramic rim sherd, of a local Coarse sandy ware, probably dating to c. AD 1600-1850. A micaeous, sandy oxidised fabric containing frequent coarse quartz and iron stone inclusions, as well as ferrous clay pellets and larger stones. Weight: 20.99g. Sherds of similar fabric were recovered from excavations in Exeter (Allan 1984: 149), probably from a shallow bowl or pan similar to Allan's (1984: 153) form 8.

A Medieval to Post Medieval copper alloy vessel foot, probably dating to c. AD 1200-1700. The foot is sub-trapezoidal in cross section, with the front, broad, face cast into three parallel longitudinal ribs and a central longitudinal ridge on the reverse. The underside is slightly concave and shows signs of sooting. Dimensions: length 43.0mm; width 52.3mm; thickness 15.3mm; weight 106.23g This is an example of Butler, Green and Payne's type A, which they suggest was in use throughout the medieval period and into the 17th century.

Behind the snout the spout expands into a sub-rectangular head, with no idication of eyes or further additional detail. On either side of the head are a pair of intregal sub-rectangular ears with slightly depress…
