A single Roman Greyware sherd (GREY) was recovered from the subsoil. The abraded sherd is from a jar or bowl of general Roman date.

The subsoil produced a sherd from a Torksey-type (TORKT) jar of potential late 9th to mid-11th century date. The sherd is in a reduced fabric with oxidised surfaces and surface kiln flashing and may have been produced at a centre other than Torksey such as Newark.

A single un-located sherd from the subsoil is from a Nottingham Glazed ware variant (NOTGV) jug of 13th or 14th century date.

Three un-located Brown-glazed Earthenware sherds (BERTH) found in the subsoil are from a jug of late 16th to 17th century type. Another Brown-glazed Earthenware sherd from a large bowl of late 17th to 18th century date was recovered from the surface layer. The subsoil layer produced a Black-glazed Earthenware sherd (BL) from a jar of late 17th to 18th century date. Two Slipware (SLIP) sherds from a single 18th century press-moulded dish with trailed and feathered decoration were recovered from the surface layer.

A sherd from a small English Stoneware (ENGS) bottle found in the surface layer is of 19th to mid-20th century date. The layer also produced a small sherd from an 18th century Nottingham Stoneware jar (NOTS).
