Description: | Cast copper alloy skillet or small cauldron leg, ovate in plan, trapezoidal in profile and triangular in section, and still attached to an ovate fragment of the body of the vessel. The exterior of the leg has four grooves separating five raised, rounded ribs that run the length of leg. The ribs are varied in length, longest in the centre and shortest towards the edge, as the foot tapers to a slight point in the centre. The width of the leg is uniform and the end rounded. There is a moderate amount of soot or burnt organic material on the interior of the leg, as well as between the grooves on the exterior.Butler and Green (2003) illustrate similar legs on a skillet from the Fathers Foundry in Somerset, on page 50, no.11, and on a small Westcountry cauldron from Bodmin, on page 150, no.155, which are both dated from the 17th century.
