Description: | Pottery rim sherd from a bowl with an upright, slightly expanded rim that has been flattened on top and angled at about 150 degrees from the body of the bowl. Below the rim is a defined groove between the rim and the shallow concave band beneath it.The sherd is a light orangey colour throughout and the exterior has been black-coated. There are also some carbonised remains on the surface of the exterior. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard.Late Romano-British in form.Carlyon (1985) illustrates similar examples on page 14, in her Group 9, from Chysauster and Trebarveth, which date from the later Romano-British period.Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example from Trethurgy on page 116, Fig.56, No.80 which dates from the 3rd to the 4th century AD.
