Description: | Four unglazed body sherds from a number of relatively thick walled pottery vessels; not enough survives to indicate the form or overall size. These sherds are from Severn Valley coarse-ware which dates to the Roman period (50 - 410). The sherds are all irregular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The fabric is a very soft fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, grog (pottery temper) and quartz inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric is a uniform mid orange. The surface and edges of all the sherds are worn, and some have a powdery surface. There is no glaze or applied surface present. Not enough of the vessels survive to suggest the size or form, and the sherds themselves are particularly plough worn and abraded. The largest sherd measures: 32.5mm in length, 38.9mm width, is 10.5mm thick and weighs 10.05 grams.The Smallest sherd measures: 23.1mm in length, 19.7mm width, is 7.9mm thick and weighs 3.66 grams.The four sherds have a combined weight of: 20.72 grams
