Pottery. A dark grey fabric with moderately abundant inclusions of rock or flint to length 2.5mm, though apparently lacking calcareous inclusions; body sherd from a large handmade vessel. The inner surface is smooth, possibly burnished, dark, with sparkling particles; the outer surface is lighter, and oxidised in patches. This sherd was kindly examined by Wallace Collyer and Tina Tabrah of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research Group, who suggest a broad Iron Age date. The sherd has a fresh break on one side, which may hint at the recent disturbance by agriculture of a hitherto intact archaeological context. Suggested date: Iron Age, 800 BC - AD 43.
