Description: | Ceramic vessel neck sherd. The fabric is a hard-fired, pale orange material, with abundant sand temper and rare calcite inclusions erupting at the surfaces. A pale grey-white slip covers the exterior surface only, above which a thin mid-green glaze is evident. Occasional copper flecks adorn the glaze exterior.

Decoration on Sandy Red Ware is rare, taking the form of applied strips, rouletting or anthropomorphic design (Mainman and Jenner 2013, 1247). A series of circumferentially rouletted bands run across the width of this sherd.Medieval: AD 1250-1500The vessel fragment is 54.8mm long, 32.1mm wide, 8.1mm thick and weighs 14.2g.Mainman, A. and Jenner, A. 2013.
