Three sherds of pottery of possible Early Medieval date. The pottery appears to be hand-made, but the surfaces are incomplete due to old and more recent breaks. The fabric has small white grit tempering, and occasional larger white quartzite particles, with some mica. It is grey-brown in colour, with the outer surface smoothed. The combined weight of the three sherds is 12.04g and it is likely that they formed part of the same vessel.
