A fragment of a late Iron Age grog-tempered spouted strainer bowl, dating 50 BC - AD 43. The fragment is sub-circular and from the base of the vessel. There are irregularly spaced perforations across the entire surface, some filled with dirt and other concreted material. The fragment is slightly thicker at one end, suggesting a slope on the internal surface.
