A ceramic vessel fragment; a rim sherd of Post Medieval pottery. The fabric is hard and fine in texture. It is a mottled dark grey and orange colour with few visible inclsuions. The inner face and over the rim is glazed with a thick dark brown glaze which is blistered and discoloured to black. This may be a poorly fired version of a Post medieval black ware. The rim is simply angled outwards and the piece is too small to estimate the rim diameter.The sherd is 34.56mm long, 23.41mm wide and 7.87mm thick. It weighs 9.87gm.

Two ceramic vessel fragments; wall sherds of probably Post Medieval pottery. The fabric is hard and fine in texture, though abraded. It is a dark grey with few visible inclusions, but the smaller piece is less reduced and is buff coloured. The outer surfaces of the large piece and all faces of the small piece are glazed in a crazed uniform yellow green colour. The smaller piece is a rim sherd with a simple out turned rim, but is too small to estimate the rim diameter.
