The presence of tripod feet and looped swing handles suggests it was used over an open fire. It typically took the form of a witch's cauldron. A fragment was retrieved from within the wall next to the house entrance and possibly signifies a Highland tradition where iron was inserted into the house apertures, including doorways, fireplaces, and window sills, to prevent evil spirits from entering the home.
