Pottery rim sherd of a large storage jar, with an inside diameter of about 280 mm and an outside diameter of about 340 mm. The rim is 'complex' with a finger-impressed 'pie-crust' pattern along the upper edge of the everted outer rim or flange. The sherd is a light brown colour throughout and the underside has been black-coated. The fabric contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. Similar storage jars have been found at other sites in Penwith, such as Porthmeor, Porth Godrevy and Reawla, which dat…

Pottery rim sherd from a bowl with a 'Cornish flanged' (Quinnell, 2004, p.124) rim. The flange below the rim is pointed and horizontal, but damaged, and angled at about 90 degrees from the body of the bowl. Above and below the flange are recessed grooves which help to define the flange from the body of the bowl. The fabric is is a light browny grey colour throughout and contains mica, felspar and augite inclusions, which suggests that it is made from gabbroic clay, originating from the Lizard. The exterior surface looks as if it was originally black-coated, now mostly worn …

Pottery body sherd of a Dressel type amphora (Carl Thorpe pers comm). The sherd is made up of a hard rough fabric, orange in colour throughout, with small mica and dark grey-coloured augite inclusions, and large chunks of quartz.

Late Iron Age to Romano-British period c. 1st century BC to 2nd century AD

Pottery cordoned body sherd of a round-bodied jar with two parallel cordons on the side of the vessel as it curves towards the rim. The upper cordon is about 6 mm thick and the lower one about 8 mm thick. The fabric is a uniform orange to light brown colour throughout, with an oxidised exterior, and looks to be gabbroic as it has inclusions of white felspar and grey augite, as well as mica. The surface of the pot has been burnished during manufacture and there are incised lines above and below the moulded cordons, helping to define them. It is well made and high fired, which suggest…

Pottery body sherd decorated with a single impressed twisted cord in two lines, with one line running horizontally, parallel to the rim, and the other obliquely at about a 45 degree angle. The surface and core of the sherd have been oxidised to an orangey brown colour. The interior surface of the sherd has been wiped, and there is the impression of the textile used on the surface, probably before reaching the 'leather-hard' stage while drying, in order to remove surface condensation. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica, white feldspar, and grey augite incl…

Pottery base sherd with part of the body of the vessel remaining, suggesting from its curvature and angle that it came from a shallow bowl. Without the rim it is difficult to classify and date. The surface and core of the sherd have been reduced to a dark brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the interior surface of the sherd. The fabric looks, from macroscopic investigation, to have mica and a lot of crushed quartz inclusions, which is typical of the granitic clay used during the Romano-British period in Cornwall. This style of bowl was found at the Romano-British settle…
