Description: | A fragment of pottery from the body of a vessel, found buried near to fire or furnace remains. The pottery has not been washed. It is 32.9mm long, 25.2mm wide and 7.8mm thick. It weighs 5.31gm. The shard is probably from a prehistoric ceramic vessel, possibly an Iron Age jar. The pottery feels soft and smooth though the surface is irregular and suggests that it was hand built. The fabric is soft and the texture is irregular. The inclusions are probably sand with some quartz and calcite with occasional pebbles. They are infrequent and well sorted. The fabric is brown grey in colour.
