Description: | Pottery rim sherd from an open jar with an everted rim and an almost S-shaped profile, but it is broken above the shoulder of the vessel. The rim is uneven and poorly finished and from the curvature and fabric, the sherd appears to be comparable to Gwithian style ware which dates from the 6th to the 7th centuries AD (Carl Thorpe pers comm). The fabric is an orange to brown colour with felspar and mica inclusions, and has been high fired, which again suggests that it is Early Medieval in date and not from the Iron Age (Carl Thorpe pers comm).
