A rim sherd from a wheel made Roman vessel, either a jar or a pot. The oxidised fabric is dark orange in colour with a grey-brown core and infrequent shelly inclusions. The everted rim is moulded, with a wider lower element. Below the ridge the vessel curves out in a shallow band before curving at a much more pronounced angle. The diameter of the complete vessel at the ridge would have been over 300mm.

A worn red-orange rim/body sherd from a wheel made Roman samian bowl probably dating to the 2nd century AD. The fragment is plain with a beaded lip and curved wall. There is an external offset, indicating the junction of the wall and the floor, while the interior curves smoothly. There are two faint circumferential incisions below the lip. There are also specks of (modern) blue paint on the exterior of the sherd. Probably samian form 18/31 or 31 of probable Central Gaulish provenance.

A trio of pottery sherds probably from three seperate Roman greyware vessels found in the same vicinity. The first takes the form of an apostrophe in section. As such it seems similar to a number of mortaria rims sherds illustrated in Laing (2003, 63-65). Mica and other inclusions in the fabric of the pottery, together with its profile thus suggest that this fragment might once have formed part of the rim of a Roman mortarium, or food preparation bowl. Further, the hooked style would indicate a 2nd- or 3rd-century date for this sherd. It is likely that the bowl would have had a diamet…

Three sherds from a Roman greyware vessel. They are all angular base sherds and weigh 119g, 87g, and 38g respectively. The largest has a maximum length of 112.3mm, and width of 100.3mm. The middle sheard has a maximum length of 93.2mm, and width of 65.6mm. The smallest has a maximum length of 79.7mm, and width of 35.6mm. Collectively they form the majority of the base of an incomplete vessel. This base would have had a thickness of 9mm in its centre, rising to 12.7mm at the point where the sides begin. The sides themselves taper as they travel away from the base. The base would…
