Body sherd fragment of an unglazed earthenware pottery probably from a vessel dating from the medieval period (1200 – 1350). Not enough of the sherd survives to be certain of the form or size, without this a more specific date is difficult.

There is no evidence of heating and sooting on the exterior face of the sherd suggesting these this was not involved in cooking food. The sherd is abraded and the fabric is a relatively soft earthenware with a number of small angular and …
