Description: | A ceramic vessel rim and wall sherd of Medieval date from a jug. The surviving fragment is the top of the handle and the rim above it. The rim is flat and square. The wall curves inwards briefly before the start of the strap handle which is oval in section. There are thumb depressions on each side of the handle. The fabric is orange on the surface (probably an orange slip), with a buff yellow layer beneath fading to grey in the core. The texture is irregular and the fabric is gritty and hard with frequent grey grit and quartz inclusions, some breaking the surface. There are traces of a splashed purple and yellow brown glaze on both faces. The rim diameter is about 15cm but too little survives to be certain of this.
