Description: | Two conjoining abraded glazed sherds of earthenware pottery probably dating to Post Medieval period (1550-1650). The two sherds join along a recent break. The outer surface of each has a decayed glaze which is a brown green colour. The surface of the glaze is slightly pitted which may suggest that it is a basic salt glaze It is likely that the sherd was originally from a domestic pottery type such as a dish, jar or a flagon. The fabric of the pottery sherd is relatively soft and is of a uniform red / orange colour. There are a number of angular and sub angular burnt broken pottery inclusions and a large / frequent amount of sand / silica inclusions. Due to the small size of the sherd the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. The two sherds when joined measure 20.4mm x 52.7mm x 8.6mm; they weighs 9.38 grams.
