Medieval and post-medieval pottery, Southminster Hall, Hall Road (EHER 48856)

2015 Test Pit 1. A single sherd of medieval Essex Grey Ware and two sherds of post-medieval Glazed Red Earthenware were recovered from one of 12 test pits excavated as part of an Access Cambridge Archaeology project. The finds suggest marginal use of this site during the medieval and early post-medieval periods.

April 2015. Access Cambridge Archaeology test pitting. Three sherds of pottery comprising a single sherd of medieval Essex Grey Ware found with two sherds of post-medieval Glazed Red Earthenware. This test pit produced very little pottery, but that which is here shows that the site had a marginal use, perhaps as fields, in the medieval and early post-medieval periods. Other finds consist of tile, ceramic building material (CBM), a detachable drinks can pull, clay pipe, iron nails, coal and bottle glass. <1>
