A flat base sherd is also probably of variant fabric 1Bii with grey core and patchy external dark grey slip. It measures 48.35 x 40.21 x 6.40mm thick (18.16g).
A large body sherd retains the base of a bar handle, possibly from a type 29 flagon/jug.

It is probably of variant fabric 1Biii and measures 83.27 x 59.37 x 4.78mm thick (88.53g). The diameter of the handle is 20.68 x 14.10mm.
Of the remaining three body sherds; 2 have incised lattice decoration, one of which also has frequent shale and buff oolitic limestone inclusions (<5mm) and may be of variant fabric 31.
