Type and Period
Description
Possibly Roman vase found on GPO (possibly: General Post Office) site. Rodwell thinks the vase found was a small unglazed jug. <1>
In May 1946 Mr L.R. Grinsell gave Rayleigh Antiquarian Society a vase found on this site. The OS thinks this may be mis-sited by Hull, as present office is at TQ 8036 9049. <2> - <5>
The vessel recorded as 'Roman' and found on the site of the Post Office in 1940 is post-medieval. It is a small bottle dateable to the 15th or 16th century. <6>
