Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment from a copper alloy vessel probably a cauldron or skillet of later medieval or post medieval date (1300 - 1600). The fragment is not particularly diagnostic - it is either likely to be from a handle or foot - most probably a narrow foot. It is sub-rectangular in plan and D shaped in cross section. It is uniform in thickness from the top, which is broken, to the base. The upper surface has a distinct U shaped shallow groove - and the terminal is flat. The artefact is a mid brown green colour with an even patina. This patina has been abraded in several places, probably through movement in the soil. This movement has also damaged the edges of the leg producing an asymmetrical shape. The broken edge is not patinated suggesting relatively recent damage.The fragment measures 28.4mm in length, has a maximum width of 19.9mm, a maximum thickness of 15.3mm and weighs 33.88 grams.
