Possibly pottery. Reduced shell tempered fabric with abundant calcareous inclusions to length 6mm. It is uncertain whether this comes from a very abraded potsherd which has lost all its original surfaces, or whether it may be from a structure made of daub which was tempered with shell. The finder kindly notes the presence of a marine shell fragment in NLM-C4F4B2 so this could be from a less burnt part of the same structure.

A fragment of Iron Age pottery, c.150 BC-AD 43. This is a piece of the wall of a large vessel, probably used for cooking, given the large amount of grog within the fabric. This grog appears to be made of crushed shells and possibly chalk. One face of this fragment is darker than the other, which could indicate that this was the outer face that was exposed to more heat and smoke.

A body sherd from a ceramic vessel of Iron Age to Roman date (c. 500 BC - AD 100). The sherd is shaped like an irregular pentagon in plan. The sherd is 31.71mm wide at the very top, expanding to 37.72mm wide towards the centre. This expansion is mainly due to the right hand side of the sherd widening, whilst the left hand side slants inwards at an angle, causing this initial section of the sherd to have a parallelogram like shape. The sherd narrows slightly to 35.48mm wide, before tapering to a rounded point at the bottom, though with a greater degree of tapering on the left hand side…
