A fragment of glass, possibly dating from the later medieval period, i.e. c. AD1400-1600. The glass sherd weighs 3.18g and measures 24.02 x 17.04 x 3.69mm. It probably came off a bottle or vase, but the fragment is too small to be certain. The vessel was made from greenish opaque glass that has many smaller and medium-sized bubble inclusions.
