A worn cast lead vessel which has been crushed out of its original form. It is of open form and semicircular section, intended to lean against (or be attached to) a vertical surface. The vessel flares out as its sides ascend; the flaring is more pronounced above a pair of longitudinal lines around two-thirds up the vessel's side. The lines are moulded in low relief. At the base the vessel is 41.9mm in length, expanding to 76.9mm at the top. The majority of the surface of the vessel is covered with off-white corrosion product. As stated, the vessel has buckled at the back and it has al…

A large thick body sherd from a probable late Iron Age to Roman vessel. The sherd has infrequent large shell inclusions and is of a dark grey/brown colour. The sherd is from a wheel thrown vessel. No traces of decoration are evident. This sherd has no diagnostic qualities and it is therefore very difficult to determine what sort of vessel it relates to.

Five sherds of a shell tempered coarse ware, probably from the late Iron Age to early Roman period. The five sherds are comprised of a base sherd, three body sherds and a rim sherd, not neccesarily from the same vessel. The sherds each have large shell inclusions within a dark grey fabric. The larger of the three body sherds has very subtle linear decoration on the exterior, probably achieved by dragging an implement against the pot whilst it was being spun on a wheel. Another of the body sherds has a crude zig-zag decoration. The rim sherd has a groove below the rim and looks to be a …

A worn red-orange rim/body sherd from a wheel made Roman samian bowl probably dating to the 2nd century AD. The fragment is plain with a beaded lip and curved wall. There is an external offset, indicating the junction of the wall and the floor, while the interior curves smoothly. There are two faint circumferential incisions below the lip. There are also specks of (modern) blue paint on the exterior of the sherd. Probably samian form 18/31 or 31 of probable Central Gaulish provenance.

A trio of pottery sherds probably from three seperate Roman greyware vessels found in the same vicinity. The first takes the form of an apostrophe in section. As such it seems similar to a number of mortaria rims sherds illustrated in Laing (2003, 63-65). Mica and other inclusions in the fabric of the pottery, together with its profile thus suggest that this fragment might once have formed part of the rim of a Roman mortarium, or food preparation bowl. Further, the hooked style would indicate a 2nd- or 3rd-century date for this sherd. It is likely that the bowl would have had a diamet…
