Description: | Three fragments of possible ceramic building material. All three fragments are relatively robust and may possibly come from some form of vessel, however from the shapes of the pieces it is more likely that they are fired remnants of wattle and daub walls (being the daub part). The reasons for this are the organic burnt out inclusions and also the series of very shallow U shaped sectioned hollows; these may correspond with the wattle hurdles in a wall. The fabric of the fragments is very similar to Severn Valley pottery dating from the Roman period (100-400 AD). However such a tight date cannot be suggested for these as this form of pottery is very local - and therefore the clay source would have been used throughout the historic periods. The fabric of the sherds is very soft earthenware with a powdery surface and is a uniform orange colour. There is no clear evidence for burning on any of these fragments. The largest fragment measures 46.2mm in length, 25.4mm width, is 21mm thick. The combined weight of all three is 55 grams.
