Description
February-March 2010. Watching brief.
The watching brief recovered two unabraded pottery sherds were collected from around the chunker (EHER 47325). One sherd is from a Nene Valley colour-coated ware beaker, possibly a large Going H33 type, with white-painted decoration and dating to the 4th century. There are no indentations. The second appears to be a grog-tempered jar, probably a Cam 218, dating to the first half of the 1st century AD. Both are in good condition and likely to have come from previously undisturbed features or deposits. <1>
