Pottery body sherd of a large urn or food vessel decorated with a parallel pair of a double-plaited or twisted cord impressions running horizontally across the upper half of the exterior of the sherd. Between these two borders are double-plaited cord impressed triangles, where the base of the triangle is parallel to the borders. The fabric is a gabbroic (clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Lizard) admixture with large inclusions of pale feslpar, dark augite, mica and slate, and the decoration is typical of what is locally termed Trevisker ware, after a site in St Eval wher…

Body Sherds: Six body sherd from a large coarseware ceramic urn of Prehistoric date. The material is hard, coarse, and coloured dark grey-black in the core and pale orange-brown at the surfaces. The fabric is laminated and tempered with frequent, ill-sorted, angular pebbles of an iron-rich stone (c.1.5 - 5.0mm in length). A fine micaceous dust is rare within the fabric. The natural iron within the stone has oxidised and is causing delamination of the fabric. A single fragment of possible burnt undiagnostic mammalian bone is associated with the ceramic sherds.

Pottery rim sherd of probably a bucket-shaped vessel, with a simple flat rim and an exterior surface that appears to be decorated with one ovate dimple or impression about 6 mm from the edge of the rim. The curvature of the rim suggests that the vessel would have had a diameter of about 200 mm. The fabric is an orangey buff colour on the exterior and a dark brown on the interior, with inclusions of pale felspar, dark augite and mica. These inclusions suggest that the fabric is a Gabbroic admixture, which is derived from the gabbroic clay that weathers over the gabbro stone on the Liza…

Pottery rim sherd of bucket-shaped food vessel, with a slightly everted rim and a decorated exterior from the rim to the break of the sherd. Below the rim is a horizontal row of circular dimples and one incised finger-nail impression in an arc above one dimple. Below the row of dimples are a series of vertical incised lines, which are almost parallel but carried out without a care for symmetry. The curvature of the rim suggests that the vessel would have had a diameter of about 200 mm. There are patches of burnt material, mainly on the interior of the sherd, which suggests that the ve…

A sherd of poorly fired ceramic of uncertain prehistoric date. The sherd has a buff outer side while the rest is a mid brownish grey colour with occasional rounded stone inlcusions. The sherd is likely to be from a vessel however it may also be fired clay, or just a poorly fired vessel. It is suggested that this sherd is Bronze Age or early Iron Age in date. Several pieces of prehistoric pottery spanning the late Bronze Age to late Iron Age, of which these are some, were recovered from a small area around Brightwell Barrow in the 1920s.

Bronze Age collared urn consisting of twenty two body sherds. The fabric is tempered possibly with fine sand with some larger pieces of grog, flint and other stone (up to 3mm). Very little abrasion. The fabric is local clay fired on a bonfire with a flint temper. The sherds vary in size from between 55mm in length and 40mm wide and are 4mm thick. The sherds eroded out of a cliff section at Beckfoot Roman cemetery and were probably accompanied by a fragment of an incense cup. This suggests votive deposition and a previously unknown Bronze Age phase to the cemetery, with re-use in the R…

Two pottery rim sherds and seven body sherds from a Bronze Age vessel that might have been used as an urn or a large storage vessel for food, as it would have originally been over 360 mm in diameter. The colour of the fabric is light brown to orange and varies over the interior and exterior surfaces of the sherds. The inclusions in the fabric include large fragments of pale felspars and grey augite, which suggest that the pot was made using gabbroic clay from the area where it was found, which weathers over the gabbro stone. There also appears to be some other material added to the cl…

A ceramic wall/rim sherd, probably of a shallow wide-rimmed bowl, possibly prehistoric but more probably Roman. The vessel was made from reddish or orange coloured clay which was tempered with sand and grit. The inner and outer surfaces are extremely worn and it is probably that the sherd was coated with a slip that has now worn away.

A quite thick, decorated wall sherd from a large urn of approximately 0.3 metres diameter. The exterior is damaged from being exposed to rain and frost in the plough soil. It would have had a smooth finish with only a few fine grits showing in order for the herringbone pattern of plaited cords to be impressed. The sherd is crumbling with a developed network of fine surface cracks and the decoration only discernable in oblique light.The orangey red surface oxidised colour extends part way through the fabric which then remains dark grey brown to just below the orangey interior surface. …

Pottery body sherd made of a coarse fabric with an uneven exterior surface that is undecorated. The interior of the sherd has broken away so that only a small amount of the original surface remains. The fabric has large inclusions of quartz, felspar and a dark material, possibly tourmaline, with a mid-brown exterior and dark brown interior. This type of admixture fabric is found in Bronze Age vessels dating from c.2100 -1150 BC (Henrietta Quinnell, forthcoming).

A pair of body sherds probably from Late Bronze Age hand made vessels (cf. Barrett 1980). They are characteristically flint tempered (up to 6.8mm) and an oxidised orange colour externally. The interior is reduced and mid-grey, with darker areas of possible sooting internally. Both sherds are irregular quadrilaterals in form; one sherd is far larger and heavier (39.6 by 35.7mm; 16.74g) than the other (3.30g; a combined weight is given below).

Pottery body sherd of hard-baked clay, perhaps part of a mould, so that the ceramic has been altered during heating. There are various marks and impressions on the interior of the sherd, but may have been part of the moulded decoration, but the detail is unclear. The fabric is fine with few visible inclusions and is dark grey throughout, where the vessel might have been exposed to naked flames. Bronze Age, c.2100-1150 BC.

Pottery body sherd of admixture fabric, decorated with a rough chevron of imressed rectangles on the exterior of the sherd, suggesting that this could be Trevisker Ware, dating from the Middle Bronze Age. The pottery is orange on the exterior and light brown on the interior with some inclusions which look like pale felspars and mica-schists. Nowakowski (1991) illustrates a similar example from Trethellan, Newquay, on page 115, Fig.46, No.38, which is dated from the Middle Bronze Age, c.1500-1200 BC.

Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age ceramic beaker. Found in face of cliff c. 2m from the base, perhaps in slipped soil, Full profile extant, complete base and one third of the rim, about half of vessel surviving. Predominantly ancient breaks occur on the main piece. Two sherds join it at recent breaks. Five other sherds do not, and are bordered by both new and ancient breaks. These facts suggest the vessel was probably buried intact. The fabric is quite soft, and oxidised buff with red external margin in lower part and reduced core in thicker parts. It is slightly sandy with sparse …

Small fragment of hand made earthenware vessel dating from the Bronze Age, i.e. c. 2100-800BC. The vessel sherd is comparatively thick and heavy for its size which is typical for Bronze Age pottery. It was made from very gritty local clay with many medium-sized and larger inclusions of grit and quartzite. The fabric is rough and the breaks show inclusions of up to 5mm long.

Large rim sherd of a hand-made earthenware vessel dating from the Bronze Age, c. 2150-800BC. The vessel sherd is comparatively thick and heavy for its size which is typical for Bronze Age pottery. It was made from very gritty local clay with many medium-sized and larger inclusions of grit and quartzite. The fabric is rough and the breaks show inclusions of up to 5mm long. The vessel sherd does not resemble sherds that have come of Bronze Age urns and it is more likely that it was part of a domestic vessel, e.g. a large storage vessel for grain or similar.
