Six ceramic sherds, presumed from the same vessel.Prehistoric in date. The fabric is coarse material, dark brown at the core, reduced to pale to mid brown at the interior surface and variable at the surface between pale orange, pale grey, and grey-brown. The fabric contains an occasional sand temper, with rounded quartzite pebbles rare, and occasional angular black, iron-rich grits. Two of the sherds are rim fragment, showing an everted rim above an exterior ridge - this collared rim is consistent with food vessel forms of the Bronze Age period.

A coarseware handle of Bronze Age to Roman date (2350 BC- AD 410). The fabric is hand-formed, black at the core on one terminal only (where the handle has broken away with part of the vessel wall fabric) and otherwise pale orange throughout and at the surfaces. It is hand moulded and contains abundant, ill-sorted quartz (1.0 - 4.0mm) grits, many of which erupt at the surface. Given the variable oxidisation of the fabric, it is suggested that this vessel was fired on a bonfire, in which temperature and oxygen controls are limited.

Body Sherds: Six body sherd from a large coarseware ceramic urn of Prehistoric date. The material is hard, coarse, and coloured dark grey-black in the core and pale orange-brown at the surfaces. The fabric is laminated and tempered with frequent, ill-sorted, angular pebbles of an iron-rich stone (c.1.5 - 5.0mm in length). A fine micaceous dust is rare within the fabric. The natural iron within the stone has oxidised and is causing delamination of the fabric. A single fragment of possible burnt undiagnostic mammalian bone is associated with the ceramic sherds. Bronze-Age in date. …

Workflow stage: Published
28 sherds of handmade Bronze Age to Early Iron Age pottery, weighing in total 338g. The sherds are mainly body sherds, but one large rim sherd does survive. It has an inverted rim. The pottery is undecorated. It has chalk tempering, which has largely leached out, therefore resulting in the production of lots of holes in the matrix of the clay. The pottery is a coarse ware, which has been lightly fired in a clamp fire, rather than a kiln.
