Five rim sherds, two base sherds and thirteen body sherds of Roman grog-tempered greyware, probably all from the same vessel. Lorraine Mepham (Wessex Archaeology) suggests a middle-late 2nd century date and that the bloaty appearance of the fabric is due to burning. The largest sherd (rim) measures 70.53x56.78x9.23mm, the smallest (rim edge) 21.51x13.37x5.55mm and all the sherds together weigh 133.52g.

Seven rim sherds, four base sherds and twenty three body sherds of Roman sand-tempered greyware, all from the same vessel. Lorraine Mepham (Wessex Archaeology) suggests a middle-late 2nd century date and points out that some of the sherds are burnt. This may however just be the result of being placed on the edge of the bonfire. One of the body sherds retains a shadow of circular copper alloy residue, 21-22mm in diameter, which at the time of finding had a copper alloy nummus of Constantius II adhering to the inside surface (see record WILT-200EF8). The largest sherd (body with coin …
