Seven sherds representing 84% of the base from a cremation urn / burial vessel - most probably of Early - Middle Bronze Age date (2200-1800 BC). The seven sherds vary in size, thickness and weight but all have been broken due to disturbance in the ground through ploughing having crisp fresh unweathered or abraded edges. The fragments were gathered together by the farmer who noticed a white powdery spread in a recently improved / ploughed field suggesting that they were recovered shortly after disturbing the below ground archaeological context.

Two fragments of ceramic vessel of probable Bronze Age to Iron Age date (c.1000-1 BC). Both fragments are of a coarse dark brown handmade fabric which has been irregularly fired. The fabric has moderate density of angular well-sorted flint, sand and organic inclusions. Both fragments are body sherds, probably of a large-circumference storage container. The thicknesses suggest they could come from different vessels.

Fragment of a pottery body sherd from a large Bronze Age urn or food vessel. The exterior is undecorated so that dating within the 2nd millennium BC is difficult. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) with inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite and mica.The colour of the fabric is a light brown interior to more oxidised orange exterior. The curvature of the upper edge of the sherd suggests that the original diameter of the vessel would have been about 400 mm in diameter. The fabric, thickness and curvature is typical of what is locally term…

The fabric contains an occasional sand temper, with rounded quartzite pebbles rare, and occasional angular black, iron-rich grits. Two of the sherds are rim fragment, showing an everted rim above an exterior ridge - this collared rim is consistent with food vessel forms of the Bronze Age period.

Bronze age to Medieval pottery vessel sherds. The pottery appears hand built, has rough fabric with large gritty inclusions and lots of mica. It has a thick section and some sherds have evdience of sooting on the outer? surface. It was found in a very tight scatter disturbed by tractor, near a Bronze Age barrow cemetery. So its probable that it is prehistoric, however pottery such as this is known in the area up to the medieval period.

A coarseware handle of Bronze Age to Roman date (2350 BC- AD 410). The fabric is hand-formed, black at the core on one terminal only (where the handle has broken away with part of the vessel wall fabric) and otherwise pale orange throughout and at the surfaces. It is hand moulded and contains abundant, ill-sorted quartz (1.0 - 4.0mm) grits, many of which erupt at the surface. Given the variable oxidisation of the fabric, it is suggested that this vessel was fired on a bonfire, in which temperature and oxygen controls are limited.
