Description: | A broken cast copper-alloy pouring spout of post-medieval date. The front part is tubular (Dia.: 16.5mm, internal dia.: 12.0mm). This emerges from a complicated element which is divided into two. At a downwards angle of around forty-five degrees to the spout is a further tubular element (internal dia.: c. 12.7mm). Both tubular elements have been broken and are now ragged. Above it is a further element which terminates in a projection of sub-square cross-section. These two elements form a rim around the front tube. The lower part is rounded, consistent with the second tubular piece. The upper part is flat. There are small flat sides at the compass points with incurved moulding joining the sides to the upper part. There is a step up to the raised angular projection. The projection is flat on top and on the side facing the spout; it is otherwise concave. There is a further, diagonal, step down to the second, down-curving tubular element. The spout has a variable dark-green patina. Similar spouts can be found illustrated in Bailey (1995, 63).
