Thirteenth century pottery sherds, Black Cottages (EHER 7982)

Three sherds of 13th century cooking pot in sand-tempered fabric, found in 1976.

Found in 1976. Three sherds of 13th century cooking pot, all sand-tempered and grey with a slightly darker grey surface. One is a simple cavetto rim, others are flat-topped but not sharply triangular. Such squared-off rims are typical of the mid 13th century whilst cavetto rims, though generally earlier, can overlap. <1> Finds with owner. <2> Note: The accuracy of the mapped location has been expanded to 100m to reflect the element of doubt in the accuracy of point, due to the building at this location being called 'Stockwells'. The property to the east is called 'Blackberry Cottages' and the title of this record is therefore probably a spelling error. It is possible that 'Stockwells' is a new name and the mapped location could be correct. It has not been possible to verify using the sources. Pottery of a similar date was also found at Ashmans (EHER 7980).
