Description: | A moulded clay pipe bowl and heel, with a short fragment of stem remaining. The bowl is complete, and in profile the bowl leans forwards at c. 35 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 38.65mm long from rim to heel, and the bowl is 19.27mm wide. It weighs 8.8g. According to Oswald (Oswald, A. 1975 Clay Pipes for the Archaeologist. British Archaeological Reports 14, Oxford.) the shape of the bowl suggests it was made in the late 17th century, c.1680- c.1710.
