Ovoid flask in medium grey ware, broadest in the middle of the vessel. The base is flat, except that the throwing rings have an obliterated round edge. Neck broken off in antiquity. The pot was broken in recovery from the ground, and a few sherds are missing from the side. The fabric is medium grey and incorporates tiny black specks of grit. The surface is slightly burnished. The black grit specks superficially resemble those in the common grey ware of 3rd and 4th century date known at the neighbouring sites of Mansfield Woodhouse, Gringley on the Hill, and Hayton, but the fabric of the Besthorpe flask is darker in colour.
