Twenty nine (29) sherds (Three (3) basesherds and twenty six (26) bodysherds) of several wheel thrown ceramic vessels of a Romano-British local white ware.
The sherds vary in thickness from 5.35mm to 7.22mm. In total they weigh 147 grams.
The sherds have a white oxidised fabric. This type of fabric is broadly consistent with a local type of Romano-British pottery, from Oxfordshire and typically dates from the 3rd to 4th Centuries AD (200 - 300 AD).
The vessel forms present consist of utilitarian forms such as storage jars and beakers.
