Description: | Body sherd of an unglazed earthenware pottery vessel dating from the medieval period (1050 - 1350). Not enough of the sherd survives to be certain of the form, without this a more certain date is difficult. The sherd is most likely to be from a cooking pot as there is evidence of both heating and sooting on the external face of the vessel. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit and pottery (grog) inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric (similar to the fabric of HESH-799697). The fabric colour of the sherd is uniform being a mid cream / buff grey colour. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. It measures 25.7mm length, 16.3mm width, is 4.3mm thick, and weighs 1.79 grams.
