Small body sherd from a Severn Valley pottery vessel, not enough survives to indicate the form, probably dating from the Roman period (100-400 AD). The sherd is irregular in plan and profile. It is highly abraded and relatively thin. The fabric is a very soft earthenware with a powdery surface. The fabric has a number of small angular and sub-angular grit, iron stone and grog (pottery temper) inclusions. The fabric also has a large amount of mica within its make up. The fabric colour is a uniform orange. There is no evidence of a glazed surface applied to the external face of the sherd…

An un-diagnostic sherd from a relatively thin walled coarseware pottery ‘Severn Valley’ vessel. The sherd is heavily abraded and probably dates to the Roman period (50 - 410), however, not enough of the sherd survives to be certain of the form or size and without this a more specific date is difficult. The fabric is relatively soft with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit and ironstone inclusions. The fabric also contains considerable inclusions of mica / sand. The fabric colour is two-tone with the outer surface being a uniform mid orange (oxidised) colour and the inn…

A large broken fragment of roof tile of possible Roman date (50 – 400 AD). The tile is broadly sub-rectangular in plan with three broken edges, and one original edge. The upper edge of the tile is raised. The tile is similar to that known from Roman roofs and is usually called tegula a flat rectangular tile with one raised edge over which a curved imbrex is placed. The fabric of the sherd is a relatively hard earthenware with a number of small angular and sub-angular grit and white quartz inclusions. There is also a large amount of mica in the fabric.
