Description: | Body sherd from a cooking pot / pottery vessel of probable medieval date. The sherd is from a relatively thick walled unglazed vessel; not enough survives to suggest the overall size or form; but the fabric of the vessel would suggest a functional utilitarian use such as a cooking pot. The fact the pottery is also friable indicates that it has been heated on (or in ) a fire. The fabric is a hard earthenware which is mica rich, having abundant angular and sub-angular black coloured grit inclusions. The fabric is a mid grey colour; the outside surface is an oxidised pale orange and the internal oxidised orange. There is no evidence of decoration.The sherd measures 30mm length, 25mm width is 6.7mm thick and weighs 6.22 grams.
