Description: | Five sherds of unglazed earthenware pottery probably dating to the late medieval or post medieval periods (1350 - 1600). These five sherds are worn abraded and exhibit lamination due to frost action. They are probably all from domestic pottery types such as storage jars or flagons. The largest sherd may be from a floor or roof tile but is too small to be certain. The fabric of all five sherds is very hard and does not exhibit the usual two tone colour. There are a number of angular and sub angular quartz (white and rose coloured), black ironstone, and broken pottery inclusions. The fabric is a light brown orange colour. Due to the smallness of the sherds the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. The largest sherd measures 29.8mm x 46.9mm x 12mm. The smallest measures 24.5mm x 17.3mm x 6mm. The total weight of all five sherds is 40.7 grams.
