Description: | Fragment of a Roman vessel lid, possibly from a cooking pot. It is sub-circular in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The lid has broken creating an irregular shape above which sits a sub-circular handle. The sides of the handle have been squashed inwards and the upper surface is uneven indicating that it was damaged while it was being made. The centre of the lower surface has a circular depression created during the formation of the handle. The fabric of the fragment is grey with a darker grey surface. Greyware was a common type of pottery during the Roman period and was made in many parts of Britain. It was most common in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, but in some places, continued in use until the 4th century.
