Description: | Four body sherds of unglazed earthenware pottery probably from a number of similar vessels dating from the medieval period (1200 - 1350). Not enough of the sherds survive to be certain of the form or size, without this a more specific date is difficult. The sherds are most likely to be from a thin walled jugs or similar tableware vessels. There is no evidence of heating and sooting on the exterior faces of the sherds suggesting these were not involved in cooking food. All the sherds are abraded and the fabric of the sherds is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, quartz and pottery (grog) inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherds varies most are a two-tone with a relatively uniform light grey fabric core and a reduced orange coloured exterior and interior face. Due to the smallness of the sherds the diameter of the vessels cannot be estimated. One of the sherds (1) has a small hand raised decorative ridge along one edge. The sherds measure: 1: 45.7mm length, 30.4mm width, is 7.4mm thick, and weighs 11.02 grams. 2: 31.4mm length, 25.4mm width, is 5.2mm thick, and weighs 4.24 grams. 3. 32.4mm length, 25.5mm width, is 7.6mm thick, and weighs 7.05 grams. 4. 30.4mm length, 29.2mm width, is 5.4mm thick, and weighs 6.81 grams
