A fragment of pottery from the neck of a Medieval jug. The fragment comes from where the body meets the neck, possibly at the base of the spout. Wall thickness is difficult to judge from this thicker curved area of the jug, but the body wall is 10.2mm at the edge furthest from the neck and the spout wall is 10.1mm at its furthest point. This is Green Glazed Worcester Ware from the period 1250-1350. The sherd is a hard courseware, orange in colour with a grey core. Patches of olive green glaze remain on the outer face.
The fragment is 65mm long by 42mm wide.
The fragment weighs 46.2g.
