Description: | A group of eight pottery coarse ware sherds of likely medieval date, four rim sherds, three body sherds and one base sherd. Fabric is rough and has a mix of subrounded-angular inclusions of small-medium white chalk/shells and small-large dark grey/black and brown grog. Fabric colour varies over the surface of the shards from light brown/red through grey/brown to black, this variation is due to the varied oxidising conditions of the kiln. All the sherds exhibit evidence of breaking in antiquity and show signs of significant abrasion and some breakage during deposition. It is unclear whether all the sherds are from wheel thrown vessels due to abrasion and damage, however it is possible to see in the largest rim sherds and the base sherd, striations indicative of wheel throwing.Sherd Description Measrurements 1 Irregular Rim Sherd 53.17mm tall, 44.53mm wide, 10.56mm thick. 27.85g in weight 2 Irregular base Sherd 29.75mm tall, 69.21mm wide, 22.10mm thick, 42.33mm deep. 43.88g in weight 3 Irregular Rim Sherd 21.15mm tall, 49.62mm wide, 10.89mm thick. 13.51g in weight 4 Irregular Rim Sherd 36.51mm tall, 41.77mm wide, 10.35mm thick. 20.27g in weight. 5 Irregular Body Sherd 27.98mm tall, 30.61 mm wide, 8.8mm thick. 10.46g in weight. 6 Irregular Body Sherd 26.82mm tall, 32.10 mm wide, 8.23mm thick. 8.37g in weight 7 Irregular Body Sherd 34.45mm tall. 22.4mm wide, 5.83mm thick. 4.91g in weight 8 Irregular Rim Sherd 24.80mm tall, 40.74mm wide, 7.27mm thick.9.993g in weight
