Description

One sherd of prehistoric pottery from exterior south-west of kitchen 1 at Great Easton castle, found 1965 (coded 43). Medium, coarse flint-gritted, hand-made, hard fabric. Despite hardness of fabric, an earlier rather than late prehistoric date is suggested, possibly late Bronze Age to early Iron Age. Sherd shown by E. Sellers to D.G. Buckley in 1980. The sherd is with E.E. Sellers. <1> <2>
