A fragment of a clay tobacco pipe probably dating from AD 1580 - 1680. Only the heel bowl survives. The shape appears to match examples in Atkinson and Oswald (1969) that are dated to AD 1580 - 1680. It is made from a cream coloured fairly coarse fabric with mica, grit and black inclusions, probably consistent with clay from a local Coal Measures deposit. The bowl does not appear to be burnished but the rim does look to have been bottered. There is a line of milling near the rim, but not parallel with it, and on the side of the bowl facing the smoker only (half milled). There is no oth…

A group of 11 ceramic vessel sherds; 5 wall sherds, 3 base fragments and 3 rim fragments, probably of Roman date, AD 43 - 410.

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…
