Description: | PAS-RC07Grid G4A fragment of possible ceramic building material. The fragment is relatively robust and it is possible that it could be a large sherd from a Severn Valley vessel: however from the shape it is more likely that it is fired remnants of rough brick or tile. The fabric of the fragment is very similar to Severn Valley pottery dating from the Roman period (100-400 AD). However such a tight date cannot be suggested for this as this form of pottery is very local - and therefore the clay source would have been used throughout the historic periods. The fabric of the sherd is very soft earthenware with a powdery surface and is a uniform orange colour and has grog temper with inclusions of black iron stone. There is no clear evidence for burning on the fragment.The fragment measures 25.4mm in length, 21.1mm width, is 16.8mm thick and weighs 9.8 grams.
