Three rims and five body sherds are from the upper part of a cooking pot that has a wedge-shaped rim made from a fabric tempered with sand and fossil shell. The body of the vessel was probably shaped by hand, while the rim was wheel-finished. The form and fabric are typical local products in North Lincolnshire and the Don and Trent valleys in the first century AD. The sherds are heavily sooted on the inside, but there is no trace of any corrosion: the soot may have acted as a protective layer preventing the corrosion from sticking to the pot. The absence of base sherds suggests that the pot was broken, disturbed, and then dragged about by a plough.
