Description: | A rim shard from a ceramic vessel dating from the medieval period. The shard is 55.81mm long, 36.27mm wide and 12.54mm thick. It weighs 19.43g. The fabric is hard and the texture is irregular with a pimply surface. The core is pale grey and the surfaces are all pale orange. There are prolific, poorly sorted, angular inclusions, many grey with some voids. These are probably oolite or limestone and basic igneous inclusions. The fabric is probably in the Northern gritty ware tradition. The pot was about 240mm 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.
