Description: | Six shards of grey pottery which appear to be the same fabric including two adjoining base fragments. The vessel is wheel turned and is not decorated. The wall leaves the base at a shallow angle, suggesting that the form was a dish or bowl. One shard is decorated with a double incised circumferential line and two angles lines springing from it, perhaps suggesting a band of chevrons or crosses. The vessel has a diameter of 55mm at the base.The pottery is likely to be Roman in date. The fabric is soft and rough with irregular fractures. It has light grey surfaces inside and outside and a dark grey core. The inclusions are infrequent and poorly sorted. Some are large, mainly angular, and red (grog?) and others are small angular white and shiny (mica?). There are also some large white angular inclusions (shell or bone?) and occasional large black inclusions (iron ore?).
