Description: | Rim sherd of a relatively thin walled coarseware pottery vessel. The sherd either dates to the Roman period (50 - 410) or the medieval period (1200-1500). From what remains it is more likely to be Roman in date and from the local 'Severn Valley' like wares, but the style of the rim is unusual being relatively thick and flared, rather than everted as in most Roman vessels. The fabric is relatively soft with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit and ironstone inclusions. The fabric also contains considerable inclusions of mica / sand. The fabric colour is a uniform mid orange colour. A suggested diameter of the rim is 11cm, and the sherd represents 15% of the rim. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures: 24.2mm length, 47.3mm width, is 8.5mm thick (rim), 7.3mm thick (body) and weighs 10.27 grams.
