Description: | Large fragment of iron cauldron. Probably post medieval to 18th century in date considering the good survival of the iron.The frgament consists of part of the rim, one trinagular handle and part of the curving body. It is 145x120x3.5mm and weighs 249.69g. It was probably c.160mm in diameter at the rim.The rim is 25mm wide with a rib running aroung its mid-point. It is everted. The body also has 3 ribs at 30mm spaced intervals running aorund the circumference, though apparantly not where the body curves to the base.The handle is circular in section where it joins the vessel (10mm at rim and 13mm at body) but tapers to become flat in section and 8mm wide at its angle. In consequence, the area inside is shaped rather like a keyhole - oval with an extra circle at one end.The metal has lumps of corrosion adhering to the surface.
