Description: | . A sherd from the rim of a 'splash' glazed vessel of probable later medieval (1200-1400) date. The sherd is most likely to be from a small jar or pot. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, grog and quartz inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric. The fabric colour of the sherd is uniform buff grey colour. The rim has an outturned swollen lip. A suggested diameter of the rim is 15cm; the sherd represents only 16% of the rim. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The lower part of the sherd has been glazed with a mid yellow green colour applied probably using a splash technique. The inner surface and rim has not been glazed. The sherd measures 61.4mm length, 36.9mm width, is 13.2mm thick (rim), 8.4mm thick (body) and weighs 21.31 grams..
