Medieval pottery jar
Jar in a fabric varying between buff, red-brown and grey with a grey core, stamped with small crosses imperfectly impressed. Mr M Ponsford suggests North Somerset, possibly Bath, as a possible origin for this piece. It may also be noted that what appears to be a closely similar ware with similar stamped decoration occurs at Porchester Castle in contexts suggesting 9th C date (Cunliffe 1974 , p130, 8).
Building 1: from black layer within Building 1 which may represent occupation debris.
