A coarse prehistoric ceramic vessel fragment. Fabric is rough with abundant pits for missing poorly sorted inclusions, mostly subrounded-rounded likely indicating plant or similar temper, also in the fabric are spares subangular - subrounded small shell inclusions. The fabric has a highly oxidised internally leaving it light grey, the outer fabric is less oxidised with patches of light brown orange visible but moslty dark grey-brown. Pot has no striations and is uneven suggesting it has been hand made. Measurments: 31.87mm high, 27.56mm wide, 9.47mm thick and 8.36g in weight.

A fragment of a handmade vessel of possible Iron Age date (800-100 BC). The fragment is a body sherd from a gritty coarse ware vessel. The fabric is brittle and is a dark brownish-black colour with an orangey-red inner surface. The exterior is oxidised with an un-oxidised core. The sherd contains numerous large inclusions most likely of what appear to be quartz and mulit-coloured flint.There are deep linear scrores on the inner surface of the sherd.
