Description: | An un-diagnostic sherd from a relatively thin walled coarseware pottery 'Severn Valley' vessel. The sherd is heavily abraded and probably dates to the Roman period (50 - 410), however, not enough of the sherd survives to be certain of the form or size and without this a more specific date is difficult. The fabric is relatively soft with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit and ironstone inclusions. The fabric also contains considerable inclusions of mica / sand. The fabric colour is two-tone with the outer surface being a uniform mid orange (oxidised) colour and the inner a mid grey (reduced). The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures: 32.9mm length, 14.6mm width, is 5.9mm thick and weighs 2.51 grams.
