Description: | A rim fragment of a Medieval vessel, dating to the mid 12th-mid 13th c AD. The sherd is made of a relatively coarse fabric, and as such, is likely to have been a cooking vessel. It has been evenly fired throughout to a dull grey colour and the inside surface is the same. The external surface has been exposed to an oxidising atmosphere during kilning and this has resulted in a reddish surface colour to the clay. Very fine inclusions consist of black and white coloured specks, possibly flint or mica. There may be slightly larger grog temper as well. There is no indication of slip or glaze. It is likely that this vessel was wheel-made. The fragment measures 30 mm long, 18.95 mm wide, 11.72 mm max. thickness, weighs 8.05 grams.
