Description: | The sherd is a rim fragment, probably of a jar. The sherd is possibly made from Severn Valley Ware, which dates to early 2nd to 4th centuries (Webster, P 1976 'Severn Valley Ware: A Preliminary Study' Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Vol. 94). However the exterior surface appears to have traces of a dark brown coloured slip which Webster does not mention in his article as being a method of decorating Severn Valley Ware. The fabric is quite hard, with a slightly powdery surface. The sherd has light orange coloured surfaces with a mid grey coloured core. There are occasional small voids within the fabric, and occasional small dark brown coloured gritty inclusions. It is also micaceous. The sherd is slightly abraded, and weighs 34.93g.
