Description: | Pottery rim sherd of a lid. The sherd has a flat and thicker rim, with a thinner body above it, and the inner edge of the rim is defined by a groove on the exterior, which is slightly convex in its curvature, dictating that the diameter of the lid was about 160 mm.The sherd is a light orangey colour throughout and the top of the rim has been black-coated. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard.Similar pottery lids have been found at other Romano-British sites in the county, such as Caerloggas, Carvossa, Carwarthen and Trethurgy, which mainly date from the 1st to the 3rd century AD.Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example from Trethurgy on page 126, Fig.60, No.146.Carlyon (1985) illustrates a similar example from Caerloggas on page 36, Group 44, No.125.
