Description: | Flat vessel/ dish
17th century (probably)
141mm diameter, 1.5mm thick
Thickened rounded rim on both the top and bottom edge. Straight, flat flange (22mm wide), may have originally been horizontal, but misshapen because of later damage. Straight sided bouge (9mm long), at an angle of about 60??, curved top and bottom. The base (92mm diameter) would have been flat now considerably damaged with two large cracks and misshapen slightly. Raised curved linear circle in the middle of the reverse of the base (45mm diameter, 3mm wide) with a small pellet in the centre.
Because The artefact was found outside that grounds of a church , it could be possibly that this may have been a church plate, there are similar examples that data to the mid 17th century in silver (Waldron, 1982, 381-382) and so could be a Church plate that dates to the 17th century.
