Description: | Sherd from the base of a relatively thin walled yellow glazed pottery vessel, probably a small storage jar or possible tankard / cup of post medieval date (1680 - 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, and quartz inclusions. There is also a high proportion of mica / sand like grains present in the fabric. The fabric colour is mid white buff and both the inner and outer surfaces have been glazed. The glaze on both surfaces is a mid yellow bown colour and applied relatively lightly so that it has abraded from some of the surfaces. The sides of the vessel raise from the base at an angle of 90°. A suggested diameter of the base is 12cm; the sherds represent 30% of the base. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures 85.2mm width at base, 55.9mm height, is 8.2mm thick (base), 7mm thick (body) and weighs 89.2 grams.
