Description: | Seven sherds of glazed slipware pottery dating from the period 1680 - 1720. The sherds represent several individual vessels although are decorated in similar patterns and designs. Not enough of any sherd survives to suggest overall size or form. It is most likely that they represent small and large plates decorated with slip. The breaks are all sharp and relatively fresh suggesting little or no movement post depositThe fabric of the pottery is very hard with a number of sub-angular, grit, and mica inclusions. The fabric colour is a pale cream yellow. All but ones of the sherds are glazed with a pale yellow (tin based?) glaze. Over this base glaze a series of mid and light brown designs have been trailed. These are augmented with significant areas of rouletted designs which flanks or contains the slipped design. The sherds have a bulk weight of 101 grams
