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…

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…
