Early Medieval pottery amphora
Fairly hard, fine, pinkish-buff fabric with white inclusions typical of Bi, and exactly paralleled by sherds from Pembrokeshire, Ireland, and Sicily. This fragment is from the further twenty-eight sherds in identical fabric but without the usual combed groove decoration. The overwhelming majority of these sherds come from C/D layers in the restricted area of Cut VI suggesting strongly that they are all from a single vessel. It has not, however, proved possible to attempt a reconstruction, for very few of the sherds join one another.
