Description: | A ceramic sherd, which is probably the terminal of a handle. It is oval in section and terminals with a slightly lipped edge. The fabric is quite hard with orange surfaces and a mid grey core. It has frequent small sized white inclusions, possibly limestone, and small angular grey/black coloured grits. The sherd weighs 37g. A ceramic rim sherd which has a sub '' shape in profile. The upper surface of the rim is decorated with sub-lozenge shaped indentations. The fabric is powdery to touch and is a pale orange colour throughout. There are fine inclusions which appear to be ironstone and limestone fragments. The sherd weighs 5.57g. The sherd is probably a flanged bowl rim made from Severn Valley ware, dating to the late 3rd to 4th centuries (Webster, P 1976 'Severn Valley Ware: A Preliminary Study' Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society Vol. 94, No. 53).
