A group of 11 ceramic vessel sherds; 5 wall sherds, 3 base fragments and 3 rim fragments, probably of Roman date, AD 43 - 410. The fabric is soft, orange to light grey with a grey core throughout and a fine texture. The surface is covered in fine striations, probably as a result of the softness of the fabric. It has frequent, very small sand and mica inclusions with occasional pieces of black iron ore. The rims are all the same shape, but appear to be from different vessels. They have an upright, thickened and flanged rim, which appears triangular in cross-section. They are from…
