Description: | An un-diagnostic body sherd from a relatively thin walled glazed vessel; not enough survives to indicate the form or overall size. The sherd is most likely to date from the later medieval or post medieval period (1400 - 1650). It is irregular in plan and curved in profile. The fabric is a relatively hard fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, quartz and grog temper inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric is a uniform mid orange brown, with the outer surface being burnished and the inner glazed. The glaze is a mid yellow brown colour and has been abraded and deteriorated in the soil. Not enough of the vessel survives to suggest the size but the thickness and curvature suggest it is from a bowl or similar shaped dish.The sherd measures: 36.5mm in length, 26.8mm width, is 6.6mm thick and weighs 8.42 grams.
