Description: | Rim sherd of an unglazed earthenware pottery vessel dating from the medieval period (1300 - 1500). The form of the vessel is likely to be a storage jar, or possible that of a jug, with a slightly recessed rim. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, quartz and pottery (grog) inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherd is two-tone; the centre is a mid grey colour and the inner and outer surface a mid orange colour. The diameter of the rim is 11cm (110mm). The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 28.8mm length, 37.4mm width, is 12.6mm thick (rim), 5.1mm thick (body) and weighs 11.77 grams.
