A complete wheel-made vessel, date as yet unknown but probably post-medieval, possibly 16th - 18th century. The vessel is a large storage jar, part glazed (green) from the waist up - the lower half is unglazed. The vessel has two looped handles adhering to the rim and the neck - these are also glazed green. A thin yellow glaze continues a little way inside the vessel, where it changes to a clear glaze, almost as if there are layers of glazing. There is a possible mend in the clay - this is also glazed suggesting it happened during the manufacturing process. The vessel measures 310…

A fragment of the base of a Roman fineware dish. The fabric is orange in colour and powdery in the hand - the outer slip having deteriorated.

The base of a vessel in a hard gritty and sandy grey coarse ware with a pinky-yellow core. There are occasional large fragments of crushed stone / quartz temper. The base sherd has been trimmed down to form a smooth circular disc and the remaining outer edge of the base appears to have a circular groove worn into it; the base sherd appears to have been reused as a runner or pulley. Although it is unclear when this occured, it must have been when the base was still visible to the eye and not buried or contained within a rubbish pit, so it is probably roughly contemporary with the use…
