A sherd of 'Trevisker Ware' or Grooved Ware pottery dating from the Neolithic - Middle Bronze Age (c.1600-1200 BC). The sherd is sub-rectangular in form and has been broken into two pieces. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and mica. The upper part of the sherd is decorated with incised parallel lines which form a chevron pattern across the sherd. The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more burnt exterior suggesting it has been fired at a high tempera…

Pottery. Pale purple-grey fabric with abundant black flecks to length 1.5mm, probably from the Coal Measures, possibly from a handmade vessel; everted rim sherd with two faint lines below the rim externally. Fiercely abraded. An even earlier date might be offered were not the mere survival of this sherd indicative of a harder firing than might be expected of clamp-fired pottery. Suggested date: Iron Age, 800BC-AD42 Height: 17.8, Weight: 4.73gms

The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior. Fragment 1 has evidence of black sooting on the top right corner of the fragment. Measurements: Fragment …

Prehistoric pottery sherd The fragment is irregular (28.2mm long, 22.4mm wide and up to 11.2mm thick, with a weight of 5.7g). Two of the breaks are old, while the other appears to be more recent. The fabric has a buff oxidised exterior surface but the interior is grey and appears reduced. Frequent angular quartz inclusions are present within the sherd of small and medium size. There is the suggestion of a linear decorative line on the surface, although uncertain. The sherd is a wall sherd and is likely to be of Early Bronze Age date (c. 2000 – 1500BC). The wall thickn…

Seven sherds representing 84% of the base from a cremation urn / burial vessel - most probably of Early - Middle Bronze Age date (2200-1800 BC). The seven sherds vary in size, thickness and weight but all have been broken due to disturbance in the ground through ploughing having crisp fresh unweathered or abraded edges. The fragments were gathered together by the farmer who noticed a white powdery spread in a recently improved / ploughed field suggesting that they were recovered shortly after disturbing the below ground archaeological context. It is probable that the ceramics represen…
