Description: | Thick walled body sherd of earthen ware vessel of probable late medieval or post medieval date (1350-1600). This sherd is worn and probably come from the body of either a large storage jar or possibly a jug / flagon. The fabric is relatively hard with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit, iron stone 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 vessel has a pitted mid tan brown colour glaze. There is no slip or glaze applied to the inner surface. There is not enough curvature on this sherd to estimate the size of the vessel. It weighs 40.03 grams
