Description: | A rimsherd of a handmade ceramic vessel.
The sherd is 11.69mm thick and weighs 22.9g. It is 43.80mm long and 35.49mm wide.
The sherd consists of a rimsherd, in a fabric similar to GR2 (fine grog/clay pellet with some leached shell) in McSloy 2007, p 25, but with added ironstone. These ironstone inclusions could push the dating of the pottery towards the Mid to Late Iron Age (c. 500 BC to 100 AD).
