A Roman ceramic vessel sherd dating to the period c. AD 260 - 410. The sherd is a base sherd, probably from a beaker. The fabric is grey brown and has been sandwich fired with bands of reduced grey and oxidised red running through the sherd visible at an old break. The fabric has abundant sand temper, with occasional mica incusions. The form and fabric suggest that the sherd may be a New Forest greyware, however, Fulford (1975, p. 85) notes the difficulty of distinguishing New Forest greyware from those of other kilns.
