Description: | Rim sherd of a relatively thin walled brown glazed pottery vessel, probably a large dish of post medieval date (1650 - 1750).). This sherd is relatively fresh with broken edges. The fabric of the sherd is a very hard earthenware with a number of small rounded and sub-angular grit, grog, black iron stone and quartz inclusions. There is also a high proportion of mica / sand like grains present in the fabric. The fabric colour is mid pink buff and the outer surface has been burnished. The inner surface of the vessel is glazed with a thick black / brown treacle coloured glaze. The diameter of the vessel can be estimated from the curvature of the rim; this is approximately 26cm; the sherds represent 6% of the rim. There is not enough of the body of the pot surviving to give an estimation of the depth or overall form/shape of the vessel. The sherd measures 46.7mm length, 51.2mm width, is 10.1mm thick (rim), 6.9mm thick (body) and weighs 31.24 grams.
