Early Medieval pottery bowl
Rigoir Form 16. Half a pedestal base - the only example of form D5. The ware has rather more frequent minute grits than is usual in standard D ware, but traces of a black wash confirm the attribution. the walls of the pot have been carefully pared away, probably so that the piece can be reused as a pot lid.
