Description: | Two sherds of late medieval or post medieval (1400-1650) earthen ware pottery. These sherds probably come from the neck or spout of a bottle type vessel. The fabric is relatively hard with a number of rounded quartz, and broken burnt pottery inclusions. The fabric colour is two-tone, the outer a mid orange brown and the inner (core) a mid grey. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. The outer surface of the two sherds is a reddish brown colour but seems to be unglazed. The two sherds join together to form the neck of a vessel: from this the diameter of the neck can be estimated - this would be approximately 30mm. The sherds weigh 44.6 grams.
