Description: | A body sherd from a relatively thin walled glazed pottery vessel; not enough survives to indicate the form or overall size, but it is probably from a jug or similar type of tableware. The sherd dates to the medieval period (1300 - 1450) and is irregular in plan and sub-rectangular in profile. The fabric is a relatively hard fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, and grog (pottery temper) inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric is a uniform buff orange brown colour. The glaze which is now much decayed has been applied to only the outer surface of the vessel. The glaze is a mid yellow green colour. There is no evidence of sooting or heating in a fire and it is likely that the glazed sherd is from a piece of decorative tableware. Not enough of the vessels survive to suggest the size or form, and the sherds themselves are particularly plough worn and abraded. The sherd measures: 32.7mm in length, 20mm width, is 6mm thick and weighs 4.93 grams.
