status: Published 
x 1 sherd of coarse ware. The sherd is a grey colour with oxidised orange surfaces. The fabric has been shell tempered with very large to small particles. The form may relate to Shelly fabrics from Beckford (unpublished) and may be a rim sherd whose body has a thickened horizontal ridge, when the body then changes angle. The rim appears quite angular with each upper outer edges slightly raised. If this is not a rim sherd, it could possibly be a lid, but no comparison was found.
