Six (6) bodysherds of a wheel thrown ceramic vessel, of Medieval dating (AD 1200 to AD 1400).
The bodysherds consists of a local (unsourced) unglazed earthenware, with frequent fine quartz and grit inclusions, with occasional mica, dating from the 11th to 15th Centuries AD. Due to the size of the fragment, it is hard to determine the original vessel form, but probably a cooking pot.
