Description: | Nine sherds of black-glazed pottery dated to the post medieval period (1650 - 1720). The fabric varies across the sherds but is predominately a mid yellow buff colour similar to that seen in Staffordshire Slipware vessels. All the sherds are relatively fresh with crisp broken edges. The fabric is a very hard earthenware with a number of small rounded and sub-angular grit and quartz inclusions. There is also a high proportion of mica and sand like grains present in the fabric. Almost all the surfaces are glazed in a shiny black colour; the consistency of the glaze is relatively thin and evenly applied. This group of sherds mostly consist of rim and bodies of several vessels. The rims are rolled over to form a tight C shape. Not enough survives of any sherd to suggest overall size or function. The thin nature of the vessel walls suggests that they were not robust and with the high quality glaze, a practical tableware is suggested.The sherds have a bulk weight of 83 grams
