Description: | A fragment of a ceramic handle from a post-Medieval (17th to 18th century) pottery vessel. The handle, which is broken off at both ends, forms a wide curve and has a low rim projecting from its outer edge. The fabric is redware and the surface retains much of its original lead glaze, which varies between greenish- and orangey-brown in colour. The edges of the break are slightly abraded. The sherd measures 34.3mm long, 19mm wide and 12.7mm thick. The weight is 7.38g.The sherd represents part of a horizontal loop handle, probably from a large bowl. It would have been located immediately below the rim of the pot and may have been used in conjunction with other such handles.
