Monument record WYB 004 - Pottery was found in August 1976 in a ditch beside lane running SW from main road.

Pottery was found in August 1976 in a ditch beside lane running SW from main road. It was found in very large quantities and was all kiln waste. (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) reports that when a land drain was run through in 1975 it was turning up pottery and red burnt soil from top to bottom. The pottery in the ditch was found to a depth of about three feet.
The fabric is hard, sandy, usually grey, but most with red sandwich. Some buff wares. Green glazes sparse but common to nearly all sherds. One example of internal glaze.
The forms are mostly jugs with strap handles (1) and sagging bases (many), one sherd from neck area, also shallow platter.
