Description: | Pottery rim sherd that tapers to a rounded top, made of gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro outcrop on the Lizard in Cornwall. The fabric has inclusions of pale felspars, dark augite and mica and is mid- brown on the exterior and orangey-brown on the interior of the sherd, with an orange core. This 'mucky' gabbroic fabric and type of rim are seen in comparable local Grooved Ware vessels, dating from c.2900-2400 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).T.G. Manby in Cleal & MacSween (1999) illustrates a similar simple rim on a Grooved Ware vessel from Burton Agnes in Yorkshire, on page 63, Fig.6.3, No.12.
