A fragment of a fired clay oven plate or lid. The fragment present was part of a larger sub-circular thick fired clay disc, commonly found in Middle to Late Iron Age (500 BC to 100 AD) sites. The fabric consists of an oxidised grog tempered fabric, with frequent fossil shell inclusions. It measures 113.90mm in length, 58.44mm in width and is 27.77mm thick. It weighs 162.8 grams. The estimated original diameter of the fired clay disk is 30cm and approximately 13% of the circumference is present. Discs like this have been found in several sites in Oxfordshire and there is currentl…

A fragment of Iron bloomery slag. The fragment measures 41.42mm long by 29.63m wide and 14.31mm thick. It weighs 10.4 grams. The fragment of slag feels light for its size, and bears a resemblement to vitrified clay. Air bubbles are present. The process of smelting iron ore to produce iron has not changed much from the Iron Age to the Medieval period, so this piece of bloomery slag could date from any time between the Iron Age (800 BC) to the Medieval Period (1500 AD).

29 sherds (9 rimsherds, 3 basesherds and 17 bodysherds) of several handmade ceramic vessels. The sherds vary in thickness from 5.43mm to 20.54mm. In total they weigh 482 grams. The sherds have a coarse fabric, with frequent fossil shell inclusions. This fabric is similar to that found in SH1 (Standard common fossil shell type) in McSloy 2006, p 38, dated to Middle to Late Iron Age (500 BC to 100 AD). It is possible that some sherds may be a medieval cooking pot variant, but due to the similarity of the fabrics and the level of abrasion present, they are hard to d…
