Description: | Rim fragment from a late Medieval or Post Medieval cast copper- alloy vessel. The fragment is triangular in shape. It is 25.0mm along the curved top, one side is 26.3mm long, the other is 19.6mm long. The rim is plain, thinning on the innerside to a sharp edge then quickly thickening to 3.0mm thick down the length. It originally angled straight out at c.45 degrees and is not dished. The internal surface is smoother than the outer. On the outer face 9.0mm below the rim is a pair of ridges running around the circumference of the vessel, each emphasised by indented lines of varying width to each side of the raised line. The vessel is smooth and black in colour, probably due to even soot deposits, and the breaks are old.Cast copper alloy vessels were widely used for cooking over open fires from c.AD 1100-1800 (Butler, Green and Payne 2009:1).
