A rim sherd from a Roman New Forest colour-coated ware beaker.  The rim is slight and the side wall below straight.  There is a step down to an expanded, rounded body.  The matrix is light grey and the slip dark grey.  The slip survives well but for a few losses and the loss of an inclusion.  The sherd has an irregular quadrilateral form.

A small body sherd from a Roman greyware vessel. The sherd is broadly rectangular in form. It has a fine, sandy fabric with some micaceous inclusions. It is shallowly curved in profile and is thought to be from a 'tighter' vessel rather than one more 'saggy' in form (Helen Rees pers. comm. 19 December 2009). The exterior is light grey in colour while the interior is more yellowy.

A pair of small body sherds from Roman grog-tempered vessels. They are both irregular five-sided shapes, quite abraded and very shallowly curved internally. One is grey while the other has an oxidised pink-orange face and a dark grey face around a grey core. The temper is not very well sorted and anything up to 2-3mm across. The grey sherd measures 28.8 by 28.0 by 9.8mm, and weighs 8.48g. The oxidised sherd measures 29.65 by 26.9 by 8.6mm, and weighs 7.66g. A combined weight is given below.

A fragment from a Roman greyware lid. The sherd has an sub-rectangular shape. On a short edge is a vestigial lip. The upper surface is essentially flat while the lower surface curves to the lip. The sandy fabric has some very occasional flinty inclusions. The inner surface has a black burnished appearance and features transverse ridged lines, while the other surface has a browner clay with orange/red tinges. This is suggestive of a probably early greyware fabric.
