31 sherds (13 rimsherds, 4 basesherds and 14 bodysherds) of several wheelthrown ceramic vessels of an Romano-British coarseware pottery.

The sherds vary in thickness from 5.44mm to 10.58mm. In total they weigh 349 grams.

The sherds have a grey fabric, with an oxidised core. This fabric is similar to that of a miscellaneous local (unsourced) greyware. This style of Romano-British pottery typically dates from 2nd Century AD to 4th Century AD. The rimsherds present are everted rounded rims, charateristics of large storage jars.
