Description: | A ceramic vessel sherd, probably from the base, of post medieval blackware dating from AD 1650-1800. The fabric is hard, fine grained and of a dark red colour. There are a few very small, white inclusions and some mica. The inside of the sherd is glazed with a thick black or very dark brown glaze and there are some splashes on the underneath face. The sherd is flat, and on the inner face is a curved bump, perhaps the remains of a raised circle in the centre of the base (similar to that seen on a saucer), though the external base is not kicked (concave) but remians flat. The sherd is 32.2mm long, 28.3mm wide and 13.2mm thick. 13.92g. No enough survives to estimate the base diameter.Alternatively, the sherd could be from a square or rectangular vessel with straight walls, and the curved element could be the edge of a bunghole moulding.
