Description: | A rim sherd of ceramic vessel of uncertain ware type and date. The fabric has a reduced light to mid grey core with an oxidised buff coloured surface. The fabric is tempered with calcitic inclusions. Occasional grog inclusions and a sparse amount of mica is also visible in the vessel surface. All broken edges have mud adhering, making it impossible to thoroughly inspect the fabric. This sherd is likely to have been part of an open vessel such as a bowl. The external surface is decorated by the presence of a horizontal ridge that starts 10.60mm below the top of the rim. This ridge has a width of 7.73mm and stands a maximum c.1.70mm in relief from the surface of the vessel wall. Above and below this ridge the ridge is bordered by two horizontal slight depressions/grooves. The sherd weighs 24.35g, has a length of 51.48mm, height of 39.78mm and thickness of 9.60mm. Use of a rim chart suggests that the original diameter of this vessel would have been c.440mm and that this sherd represents c.3.75% of the total circumference.
