Description: | Grid C16Three irregular body sherds from Severn Valley coarseware pottery vessels, as the fabric, colour and thickness differs in each sherd it is likely that different vessels are represented in the assemblage. Not enough survives to indicate the form or overall vessel size. The sherds date from the Roman period (50 - 410).Each of the sherds is irregular in plan with no discernible similarities in profile. They are also worn and abraded by movement in the ploughsoil. The fabric is a relatively soft fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular black grit (possibly coal measure rock / coal) and sparse quartz inclusions and is also mica rich. The colour varies but is broadly a uniform mid orange to orange-brown colour, with a noticeable darker grey core on one sherd. These sherds vary in thickness and most probably represent cooking and storage vessels.The largest sherd measures 15.8 mm in length, 35.1 mm width, is 8.1 mm thick.The smallest sherd measures 26.7 mm in length, 19.7 mm width, is 10.1 mm thick.The sherds have a combined bulk weight of 19.0 grams.
