Five sherds of similar dark grey/black very coarse pot (possibly, although not likely, from same vessel). Largest is 40 x 35 x 7mm, smallest is 18 x 15 x 6mm. Fabric has gritty inclusions. Largest fragment has part of base, whilst one small fragment may be a section of rim. Surface is irregular, and thickness varies by several millimeters. Pot may be crude Late Roman, but could also conceivably be Iron Age or Anglo Scandinavian.
