Description: | Incomplete copper alloy vessel mouth. The object comprises a heavily damaged, incomplete circle of copper alloy. From the top, the rim of the vessel is smooth, with a very small lip, having been cast integrally as opposed to folded over. There is a straight side to the incomplete cylinder that forms the main part of the vessel mouth; this side is plain with the exception of pairs of parallel, applied dots, located as pairs of two at opposite sides of the object. The base of the straight-sided cylindrical area is encircled by a line of applied dots; below this is a narrow, raised line. The vessel then flared out, but this is where the object has broken. The applied dots are raised and almost conical in their form; they pierce the vessel and are visible on the inside. A vessel with similar applied, piercing dot decoration has been found at Catterick, dating to the late fourth century.
