Description: | Three sherds of unglazed thick walled earthenware pottery probably dating to the late medieval or post medieval periods (1350 - 1600). These three sherds are worn abraded. There are two rim sherds and one body sherd. All three are probably from domestic pottery types such as storage jars or large bowls. The fabric of all three 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, grit, and broken pottery inclusions. The fabric is a light brown orange colour. Sherd 1: This sherd is part of the rim of a large container or bowl. The rim itself is wide and very pronounced; projecting a long way from the relatively thin walled body. The diameter of the vessel can be estimated from the curvature of the rim - this would be approximately 440mm (44cm). There is not enough of the body of the pot surviving to give an estimation of the depth or overall form/shape of the vessel. The sherd measures 38mm length, 60.7mm width, the rim is 17.2mm thick and the side wall is 7.1mm thick. The sherd weighs 37.92 grams. Sherd 2: This sherd is part of the rim of a large storage container or bowl. The rim itself is not as wide as that described above (sherd 1). The diameter of the vessel can be estimated from the curvature of the rim - this would be approximately 340mm (34cm). There is not enough of the body of the pot surviving to give an estimation of the depth or overall form/shape of the vessel. The sherd measures 39.6mm length, 50.2mm width, the rim is 16.1mm thick and the side wall is 11.2mm thick. The sherd weighs 32.49 grams. Sherd 3: This sherd is from the body of a large storage container or bowl. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter, overall form/shape of the vessel of the vessel cannot be estimated. However, it is likely to have been from a smaller vessel than the other two sherds described above. The sherd measures 31.8mm length, 38.4mm width, is 10.2mm thick and weighs 14.72 grams.
