Description: | Copper alloy fragment of a cauldron leg, sub-rectangular in plan and profile, and triangular in section, but with three quarters of the leg missing. The leg has one large central mid-rib running longitudinally from the broken end to the foot. The leg has broken longitudinally at the mid-rib, its thickest point, and tapers to a thin, unbroken side margin, resulting in a 'comma'-shaped section to the fragment. The leg has also been broken across its width and the opposite, foot end which is pointed but worn and polished through use.Butler & Green (2003), illustrate similar legs with one central mid-rib and pointed feet on pages 164-5, nos.169-170, which are from Wales and the Westcountry and date from the 16th to the 17th century.
