Description: | Pottery sherd of medieval date. Rim sherd from a bowl, probably dating from the 13th C. AD. The rim is flat on top, apart from having a slightly raised rim along each edge. The outer edge of the rim is vertical or angled back slightly towards the body of the vessel. The underside of the rim is a simple convex design. There is a sharp break between the underside of the rim and the wall of the pot. The remaining portion of the vessel wall extends at a shallow angle, suggesting that the original form of the vessel was a wide, shallow bowl. The projected diameter is approximately 400mm. The rim is decorated on its flat upper surface and its vertical side by a combed wavy line design. The fabric of the pot is dark grey in colour and contains frequent medium sized pieces of grog or charcoal. The sherd measures 77.7mm long and is 16.4mm wide at the rim. The wall of the vessel is 7.2mm thick. The weight is 29.72g.
