Description: | Pottery perforated lug handle sherd which would have been applied vertically to the vessel, above the rim. The lug was probably attached to a large jar or bowl and used for suspension.The fabric is a uniform light brown colour throughout, with a reduced exterior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been black-coated during manufacture and patches of carbonised material remain on the exterior adn interior surfaces of the lug.Romano-British, local in style.Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example from Trethurgy on page 116, Fig.56, No.94, which is dated from the 1st to the 3rd century AD.Carlyon (1985) illustrates similar examples on page 38, Group 45, from Caerloggas (No.23), Trethurgy (No.94) and Carvossa (No.517), which are dated to the 1st century AD.
