Description: | An assemblage of four Medieval pottery sherds.The group comprises one rim sherd, one base sherd and two body sherds. The rim is flat-topped and everted, its base angling inwards at approximately 45 degrees before splaying outwards into the body of the vessel. The form is representative of a jar or cooking pot of between 200 and 300mm in external diameter. The base sherd is flat-bottomed, the side angling upwards at approximately 60 degrees. The fabrics of all the sherds are light grey and heavily sand-tempered and there is some soot blackening to the outer surfaces of the rim sherd and larger body sherd. The outer surface of the small body sherd is coated with a dark brown glaze. The sherds are all slightly abraded. The overall weight of the assemblage is 123.72g.The origins of the vessels represented here are uncertain; they are, however, similar to South Hertfordshire greyware and so a similar date (late 12th to mid 14th century) is therefore suggested.
