Nine sherds of wheel-thrown ceramic sherds consisting of five rims, three body sherds and one base sherd, with an averaging thickness of between 6-11mm; collective weight: 115.31g). Most of the sherds are finely made with small frequent gritty inclusions and orange/ grey fabrics. However, two rims and one body sherd are much coarser than the other sherds with large inclusions. Most of these pieces would have come from storage jars or bowls, with an uncertain date ranging from the Roman – Medieval periods. All sherds are in a slightly worn but fair condition.
