Description: | Rim sherd of a thin walled (thick rimmed) earthenware vessel of probable medieval date (1200-1550). This sherd is worn and probably comes from the body of either a storage jar or cooking pot. The fabric is relatively hard and brittle; this suggests that it has been over fired or (more likely) been in an uncontrolled fire. There are a frequent number of angular and sub-angular quartz and grit inclusions. The fabric colour is a mid grey black. The diameter of the vessel can be estimated from the curvature of the rim; however not enough of this survives to give an accurate estimate. The inner surface of the rim of the pot is recessed. This would have allowed a lid or stopper to rest and seal the pot. It measures 35.6mm length, 26.3mm width and is 13.3mm thick. It weighs 11.29 grams.
