Post-medieval pottery, Woodham Walter Hall (EHER 8581)

A post-medieval pottery assemblage from the areas adjacent Woodham Walter Hall.

Pottery from the areas adjacent to Woodham Walter Hall: one sherd 16th-17th century tripod cooking pot in a thick reddish fabric, glazed on the inside; one fragment of mudstone, with concentric grooves on upper surface, impossible to identify whether these are natural or artificial in origin. <1> Finds from the field walking survey included mainly local earthenwares, but also sherds of Low Countries red ware and Raeven stoneware indicating activity during the late 15th to early 16th century and at least some of the local earthenwares could also be of this date. Imports at an inland site could indicate high status but Raeven stoneware and Low Countries red ware cannot be considered 'upmarket' products. Other finds include 18th-20th century sherds. <2> See aerial photograph. <3> Site Assessment: More information needed.
