report by T Hylton: The neck from a cylindrical narrow necked unguent bottle in pale green glass (Fig 7, 2). On the inside of the rim there is a shallow horizontal groove, indicating that the vessel has a rolled rim (Price and Cottam 1988, 22). This manufacturing technique was prevalent on first and second century vessels. It was from the same pit (339) as the fourth century coin hoard, suggesting that it may be residual in this context.
