A large highly decorated near complete lid most probably from a cistern of post medieval date 1650-1850. The fragment is broken into four large parts and was originally identified as a potential Roman mortaria fragment. However, more detailed research has idfentified the fabric as a hard fired earthenware which has well sorted small black coal measure grits within the mica rich matrix. This is best compared with the fabric of 18th century staffordshire slipwares. The surface of all the sherds is laminating and the original decoration scheme applied to the exterior faces is somewhat lo…

A sherd from the base of a wheel thrown Samian ceramic vessel / plate of Roman dating. The sherd is from the side of a shallow bowl and is heavily abraded. The reverse has an applied foot ring attached with a projected diameter of 12cm. The vessel has much worn oxidised fabric with a red slip. This fabric type is consistent with an imported fine ware from Gaul possibly La Grauf. The form of the sherd is suggestive of a small plate similar to Dragondorf form 15 or 17 dating from the earlier period (c. AD 50-200).

This fabric type is consistent with an imported fine ware from Gaul, known as Samian ware. This pottery type is typically dates from the 1st to 3rd Century AD. Subtle differences in the fabric can distinguish the origin of the pottery from South Gaul to Central Gaul or East Gaul.

Seven sherds representing 84% of the base from a cremation urn / burial vessel - most probably of Early - Middle Bronze Age date (2200-1800 BC). The seven sherds vary in size, thickness and weight but all have been broken due to disturbance in the ground through ploughing having crisp fresh unweathered or abraded edges. The fragments were gathered together by the farmer who noticed a white powdery spread in a recently improved / ploughed field suggesting that they were recovered shortly after disturbing the below ground archaeological context.

A cast copper alloy vessel leg / pot-leg, probably from a tripod cooking vessel, possibly of post-medieval date (1450-1650). The object consists of an almost complete pot leg with an outer rounded surface and on the inner surface a pronounced horizontal ridge which maybe considered as decoration, but due to erosion this unclear. There is no swelling at the foot, the leg processes in a narrowing manner. The back is concave and unornamented. It is heavily corroded with a fine granular surface. The object has a length of 61.58mm, a thickness of 37.38mm and height of 51.27mm; it weighs…

Roman: A single sherd of an oxidised (orange) wheel thrown ceramic vessel, Severn Valley Ware, dates from the 2nd to 4th Centuries AD. Due to the smallness of the sherd the diameter of the vessel cannot be estimated. Fabric type: 'Severn Valley Ware' Firing condition: oxidised exterior, unoxidised (grey) and oxidised (orange) core, oxidised (orange) interior Hardness: Hard Surface texture: Smooth Condition of sherd: abraded. The sherd measures: 7.84mm thick, 45.98mm in length, 28.91mm in width and weigh 11.5 grams.

Fragment from the base of a cast leaded copper alloy turned vessel of probable late medieval to post medieval date (1400 - 1650). The fragment is worn and irregular in plan and bowed in profile. It is likely to be from the base of a large dish, bowl, or cooking vessel. The vessel fragment is a mid-green colour with a polished patina which survives well on all surfaces. The underside is heavily 'brushed' but patinated suggesting that this occurred in antiquity. Due to the size of the fragment a projected diameter cannot be suggested. The fragment measures 52.3mm in length, 26.13mm i…

A copper alloy cast vessel leg / pot-leg, probably from a tripod cooking vessel, of post-medieval date. A wide but tentative date of AD 1200-1600 can be given. The object consists of an almost complete pot leg with a sub conical shape, with a pronounced leg beneath. There is some swelling at the foot, although this is not clearly defined due to erosion and corrosion. The leg is not decorated and likely from a crude domestic vessel. The object has a length of 19.39mm, a width of 17.04mm and height of 22.02mm; it weighs 12.78 grams.
