Description: | The sherd is a rim fragment of a jar. The sherd, in profile, has a straight neck, and curved rim. The body is slightly stepped from the neck. The sherds' fabric is quite soft, with a burnished outer surface. It is a mid grey colour throughout. The fabric is quite fine. The sherd is abraded, and weighs 26.2g. The fabric is probably Severn Valley Ware, which has been fired in a reduced atmosphere. It probably dates to the 1st to 4th centuries (Webster, P 1976 'Severn Valley Ware: A Preliminary Study' Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Vol. 94).
