Description: | Pottery rim sherd from a jar with an everted, rolled rim angled at about 100 degrees from the body of the jar. Below the rim is a groove which helps to define the angle of the rim.
The sherd is a light orangey colour throughout and the exterior has been black-coated and the interior reduced. There are also patches of carbonised remains on the surface of the exterior. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard.
Romano-British in form.
