Description: | An incomplete Roman course ware vessel. The vessel has been broken in to sherds and re-assembled by the finder. It is of a fine dark grey to black fabric of sandy silt. It is highly fired and appears to have been oxidised. It is difficult to assess the inclusions due to the reconstruction but they appear to be abundant inclusions of well rounded and well sorted sand.The vessel is in the form of a jar with a flat base and conical body. There are indented shoulders and a beaded rim. The surface has been lost due to sea erosion so it is not possible to determine whether or not the jar was polished or burnished.The vessel is 205mm at the widest part of the shoulder diameter and 75mm at the base. It is 105mm high and weighs 1100grams.
