Small vessel fragment probably dating from the Prehistoric period, i.e. c. 2000BC-1st century AD. The vessel was made from very soft skin-coloured earthenware and hence, the fragment is very worn and the surface soft to the touch. The fabric was tempered with small and medium-sized quartzite sand and possibly some organic matrial that got burned in the kiln.

Small vessel fragment probably dating from the medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. c. AD1400-1700. The vessel was made from light skin-coloured earthenware and it seems to have had a greenish or yellowish glaze on the obverse. The glaze is very worn and only the light-coloured slip between glaze and vessel body can be seen still in some places. The fabric must have been tempered with very fine quartzite sand as it is very soft to the touch. There are finger marks on the inside and it is likely that this is a fragment of medieval green-glazed jug.

Small vessel sherd dating from the medieval or early post-medieval period, i.e. c. AD1500-1700. The sherd is of small size, but well preserved. It was made from light-colour red/orangey earthenware, but the surface is very worn and it is difficult to ascertain whether or not it had been glazed. It is, however, likely that it was. The fabric is not very fine, but it does not show many inclusions except some small larger fragment of quartzite. The sherd is somewhat similar in make and fabric to LANCUM-9898E2, but they most certainly do not come from the same vessel.

Small wall sherd, very worn, probably from a medieval cooking pot dating from the 11th to 14th century. The vessel was made from dark grey or black eartheware and coated with a thick light-grey slip.
