Description: | A moulded clay pipe bowl and heel, with a short fragment of stem remaining. The bowl is complete, and is made from a white clay. In profile the bowl leans forwards at c. 45 ยบ. It is a short bowl with convex sides, particularly the lower edge. The only decoration on the bowl is a single incomplete rouletted line bordering the rim of the bowl. The heel is sub-circular in plan, but is undecorated. The bowl measures 27.31mm long from rim to heel, and the bowl is 18.03mm wide. The bowl is full of soil, and it therefore weighs 10g. According to Oswald (1975) the shape of the bowl suggests it was made in the late 17th century, c.1680- c.1710.
