Description: | A rim shard from a ceramic vessel dating from the medieval period. The shard is 62.63mm long, 24.69mm wide and 21.08mm thick. It weighs 32.95g. The fabric is hard and the texture is irregular. The core is light grey with a light buff to orange pimply surface. There are prolific, poorly sorted, angular inclusions, some red, many grey and some cream. These are probably grog and basic igneous inclusions. The fabric is probably in the Northern gritty ware tradition. The pot had a sloped rim and was about 310mm in diameter at the rim. A thirteenth to fifteenth century date is most likely. Pottery tends to be very localised, and only an expert could attribute a specific type or date.
