An incomplete cast copper-alloy vessel lid of Roman date (c.AD 200-400). The object has two regions a mostly flat flat of copper alloy sheet and a raised mount. The sheet is in its current state D-shaped with the straight edge being bent inwards and possibly having  an originally curved surface. All the egdes are ragged and may not represent the original surface. At the apex of the D-shape sheet the sheet has an oval concave depression on the opposite surface to the moulded work. This is in the form of a duck having a  wide triangular rounded body, narrow neck and round…

An incomplete copper-alloy chafing dish handle of medieval to post-medieval date (c.1270-1600). Description: The object comprises part of a drop handle and an in situ lug that would have attached it to the vessel originally. The handle is L-shaped in plan and sub-square in cross-section. Its shorter end terminates in a large zoomorphic lug, while its longer end terminates in an acorn-shaped knop projecting at a slight angle behind the break. The zoomorphic terminal is sub-oval in cross-section with deep grooves on the outer face creating the impression of an angled…

A medieval rim sherd. The colour of the sherd is inconsistent: the salmon inner surface is the most uniform in colour, and the margins are mostly grey save for the top of the rim which is also salmon-coloured. The outer surface has areas of salmon as well as grey, but also features two distinct areas of green glaze which retains its sheen. The fabric is largely abraded and contains abundant grey inclusions as well as quartz. Mica inclusions are more sparsely visible. On the inner surface towards the top of the rim and the margin there is a significant void of 6.1mm in length.…

A sherd from a vessel dating to the medieval period. The fabric is predominantly grey in colour except for the inner surface which is salmon-coloured, and for some areas of the core and margins where there are sections of brown. The texture is grainy, particularly on the inner surface where there are abundant inclusions visible, mostly grey in colour, the largest of which is 1.5mm in length though the majority are much smaller. There are moderate mica inclusions throughout the fabric, and on the outer surface there are some quartz inclusions visible. There remains a layer of green…

A body sherd of a medieval vessel. The predominant colour of the fabric is grey. There are abundant mica inclusions as well as abundant small white inclusions. The inclusions are mostly visible on the inner surface and at the breaks, for the outer surface is mostly covered in a glaze which has a green patina, with moderate spots of black. Where the glaze remains the texture is quite smooth, and becomes rougher on the inner surface.

A base sherd likely from a Roman mortarium. The main colour is cream/white, which alters at one of the breaks to beige/pink at the core, and the texture is chalky. The outer surface appears dappled with brown. There appears to be moderate inclusions of mica. The most prominent inclusions are dark brown and grey and mostly angular, with some that appear darker and shinier. They are abundant on the inner surface and they range in size but the largest is 3.7mm in length, and many others are close to this scale. There are also several voids on the inner surface, wi…

A post medieval sherd of triangular form, that would likely have formed part of a butter pot due to its curvature. An example of sandy coarse earthenware, the sherd has a red body which is mostly uniform in colour save for areas of grey on the inner and outer surfaces, possibly due to over-firing. The fabric is abraded and the inclusions are mostly quartz, with very rare white grains. A larger grain of quartz is visible on the outer surface of around 0.9mm in length.

A sherd of a Post-Medieval wheel thrown ceramic vessel, possibly an example of yellow ware (dating 1550-1600). The outer surface is unglazed and pink-toned, with a coarse texture. The inner surface has a yellow-coloured glaze and various brown spots are visible. The fabric is abraded and has quartz inclusions. The sherd seems to have formed part of a base, perhaps of a large bowl, as the outer surface curves upwards from a flat segment.

A copper-alloy leg with no foot, from a post-medieval skillet.The leg widens from the base to the point that it would have met the body of the vessel, where it curves upwards from inner to outer edge. At various areas a bright green patina is visible. Butler, Green, and Payne (2009) identify a similar type as being 'characteristic of all 18th and 19th century skillets', although the cross-section of this leg is more elliptical than D-shaped, as the type described.

An incomplete copper alloy pot leg of probable Medieval or Post-Medieval date (circa AD 1100-1800). The upper edge where it would have been attached to a pot is broken in an ‘M’ shape. The sides are straight and there is a slight curve on the bottom edge of the foot. The leg is D-shaped in cross-section, with a flat inner surface and a convexing outer surface. The object has a smooth surface that is grey in colour, and an uneven surface patina. The simple design without a foot is similar to figure 4d in Butler, Green and Payne (2009, pp. 5-6), which su…
