Description: | Two body shards of Early-Medieval earthenware vessels, both found together and of a very similar fabric. The shards are brown-grey in colour, with a much lighter inner surface. There are numerous (probably fossiliferous) shell inclusions of a variety of sizes, and sparse, large, shiny black inclusions, which are possibly iron ore or slag. The fragments are hard and soapy in texture, with a much abraded outer surface. Very similar to the St Neots ware fabric dating to the 13th century, suggesting a similar date for this vessel. Their small size makes it difficult to determine the form of the original vessels.
