Full Description
Romano-British? Shotford Heath pit, fragment of base of large vessel in very coarse grey/buff pottery (handmade ?). A flange, formed by cutting into the side, causes the base to project beyond the walls of the vessel. Found by workmen operating an excavator on the pit face. Said to have been found at a depth of 10 feet, but more probable that it slipped from a higher level when the face was disturbed by the excavator (S1).
