Seven sherds from the side walls of wheel thrown coarseware pottery / 'Severn Valley' vessels. The sherds date to the Roman period (50 - 410), however, not enough of either survives to be certain of the form or size and without this a more specific date is difficult. The fabric of each 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 a uniform mid orange colour although the external faces of some sherds are an oxidised grey brown colour. Largest sh…

Rim sherd of a relatively thin walled coarseware pottery vessel. The sherd dates to the Roman period (50 - 410) and conforms mostly to the local 'Severn Valley' like wares. 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 a uniform mid orange colour. A suggested diameter of the rim is 16cm, and the sherd represents 6% of the rim. The height or capacity of the vessel cannot be estimated. The sherd measures: 34.5mm width, 20.2mm high, is 8…

An incomplete fragment of a clay tobacco pipe comprising the stem and foot dating to the late post medieval date (c.1660-1680). The fragment is broadly similar to David Atkinson's Broseley Type 2b (1660-1680) classification. The bowl is lost however it would originally have had a narrow elongated bowl. The foot is relatively small flat oval shaped which is marked with the intials W V within a heart shaped stamp or cartouche. This form of stamp identifies the father and son makers William Underwood who lived in Lower Raven Lane, Ludlow (Berlyn 2008, 12-15). The pipe fragment measu…

A rimsherd from a wheel thrown ceramic vessel of Roman date. The sherd has an oxidised fabric with a red applied slip. 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. The sherd is suggestive of a small shallow bowl or cup / beaker similar to Dragendorff 33 (a small conical cup with a footstand). This cup type was first appeared during the reign of Tiberius…

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. It is probable that the ceramics represen…

Rim sherd of a thick walled earthen ware vessel of probable late medieval date (1350-1500). This sherd is relatively large and thick. It probably comes from the neck of a large storage jar or possibly a jug / flagon. The fabric is relatively soft with a number of angular and sub-angular quartz, grit, iron stone and broken burnt pottery inclusions. The fabric colour is two-tone, the outer a mid orange oxidised and the inner (core) a mid grey. This two-tone effect has been caused by low temperatures within the kiln and is typical of early pottery. The outer surface of the vessel seems s…
