Cordoned rim sherd from a large jar of Roman date (c. 100-300 AD) with a rolled rim and larger applied cordon, immediately beneath it, with a groove between to define the cordons. The sherd is a bright orangey colour throughout and the surfaces have been oxidised. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. The clay may have been made more iron-rich in order for the jar to look more like the terracotta colour of the Roman imports at the time. Romano-British in form. Carlyon (1987) illustrates …

All the sherds are oxidised throughout with shiny brownish-orange slips. The fabric contains moderate very small limestone pieces and occasional voids, so the vessels were probably produced at one of the South Gaulish kilns. Total weight: 44g

A rim sherd of a Roman Samian Ware vessel. The rim is profile is a sub-‘n’ shape with the exterior of the rim leaning outwards slightly. The interior has a small horizontal cordon below the rim.

Ceramic crucible of probable later Medieval or early post medieval date (1200-1600 AD). The crucible is incomplete and been abraded by flowing water creating smooth rounded edges to the profile. In plan the crucible is irregular; originally it would have been broadly circular, now it is an irregular ellipse. In profile it is an irregular sub-rectangular shape with a relatively narrow base which expands to an open mouth. The water worn damage present has affected one edge more than the other and so diameter of the base and mouth cannot be truly estimated. The fabric is extremely hard wi…

An incomplete 17th-century clay pipe with intact bowl, together with part of the stem. Around the top of the bowl is an incomplete rouletted design of impressed squares. The pipe itself is undecorated. The top of the bowl does not run parallel with the stem, which is indicative of clay pipes of the 17th century. The bowl measures 17.17mm in diameter. The stem measures 8.74mm in diameter, with the off-set hole measuring 2.8mm. An illustrated example of a similar pipe bowl can be found in Crummy (1988, 48; ref. 2195).
