Description: | An incomplete clay pipe of post-medieval date. All that remains of the pipe is the complete bowl which is small and bulbous with an incised circumferential line around the rim. There is a round flat foot beneath the bowl with no discernable makers mark and the tube has been lost to an old and worn break. The circular hole through the tube is slightly off-centre and measures 3.38mm in diameter and would suggest a rough date of c.1620 AD. Pipes such as this are an early form in the typology of clay pipes and would generally date from the early 17th century. The pipe is 45.25mm long, 20.77mm in diameter at widest point and 11.77mm at the mouth and weighs 14.2g.
