Description: | Two fragments of a copper alloy vessel, reported on separate occasions. Due to proximity of findspots, they have been tentatively identified as both being from the same vessel. a)Cast copper alloy leg from probably medieval pot, possibly a cauldron or skillet.The single leg is curved (convex) on the outward side, and slightly concave on the reverse. It appears to be otherwise undecorated. It is not possible to determine the type of vessel it came from.The surface of the leg is rather degraded, appearing uneven and pitted. The interior of the pot (or the surface that adhered to the exterior of the pot in the case of this being the result of a repair) is smooth.Examples of similar vessels were found at Cwm Nant Col in 1918 (Lewis, Brownsword, Pitt & Ciuffini,1987). This leg is shorter than those shown from the hoard, however.Dimensions (mm): length 45.9width 52.2thickness 13.6 maxweight 71.8gb)Body fragment of a copper alloy vessel, possibly a cauldron (or skillet?). The condition of the item appears to be stable despite the adherence of organic remains to the internal surface.Dimensions (mm):length 55.2width 37.1thickness 2.0weight 14.5
