A relatively small strap handle from a medieval green ‘splash’ glazed jug of probable later medieval (1200-1400) date. The handle is incomplete and there is no evidence of the body extant on the fragment. The fabric is a relatively hard fired earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, white quartz and grog inclusions. The fabric is also mica rich. The colour of the fabric is an oxidised orange. The outer surface is glazed and the inner is heavily abraded. The glaze is a relatively thick brown green colour. The handle has also been decorated with a series of sm…

A relatively large sherd from the base of a glazed vessel of probable medieval (1150-1300) date. The base is most likely to be from the bottom of a large serving jug and has a ‘pie-crust’ styled decoration. The external face of the sherd is glazed with a relatively thick greenish brown coloured glaze which covers the whole of the surface and the external edge of the base. The base is very patchy and is more decorated with drip marks. The glaze on the external face is uniform in nature. The rim and body is missing. The base of the pot is likely to be relatively flat. The fabric of t…

A sherd from the rim of a vessel of probable later medieval (1350-1500) date. The sherd is most likely to be from a small jar or pot; it has not been sooted and so is unlike to have been used as a cooking vessel. The internal and external faces of the sherd are glazed, although the inner surface is much patchier than the outer. The glaze is a relatively thick yellowish brown-green colour. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, grog and ironstone inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric.

A very thin body sherd from the side wall of a vessel of probable medieval (1250-1350) date. The fineness of this sherd suggests a high status function. The external face of the sherd is glazed with a relatively thin patchy yellowish green coloured glaze which covers the whole of the surface. The glaze is uniform in nature; where it has been abraded in the soil the oxidised orange colour of the pottery shows through. The glaze is currently laminating due to conditions in the burial environment. The base of the pot and rim are missing. A series of circumferential ribs are present but th…

Two abraded sherds of earthenware pottery probably dating to the later Medieval or early Post Medieval periods (1400 – 1550). Both sherds have a very decayed glaze present; this is a light yellow green colour and is probably a very decayed ‘Tudor’ green glaze. It is likely that both these sherds are from domestic pottery types such as jars or flagons. The fabric of both sherds is relatively soft and both exhibit a two tone (grey inner and orange outer) fabric colour. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of pottery of this date. T…
