Twenty sherds of post-Roman pottery representing eighteen vessels.

A single small external flake from a jug or jar with what appears to be combed decoration may be of medieval date. The fine oxidised fabric is similar to that used for Beverley Type 2 vessels (BEVO2) produced in Beverley from the 13th to early/mid 14th centuries. Unfortunately this fine fabric is similar to that used for early modern flowerpots, although the sherd in question is lower-fired than would normally be expected for an early modern vessel. Vessels in Beverley 2 are not an uncommon find in parts of Nottinghamshire and it is possible that the type may also have been produced in Southwell.

Seventeen vessels are of 17th to 20th century date. These include earthenwares (BERTH and BL), stonewares (ENGS, NOTS and SWSG) and industrial fine earthenwares (CREA and WHITE). The latest of these vessels belongs to the period between the late 19th and mid 20th centuries. At least four of the eight Brown-glazed Earthenware vessels (BERTH) are large bowls of 18th to 19th or 18th to mid 20th century type. Two sherds are from jars of 18th to mid 20th century type whilst the other sherds could come from jars or bowls of similar date. One of the two Black-glazed Earthenware (BL) sherds comes from a late 17th to 18th century Staffordshire/Derbyshire jug or jar. The other sherd is from a large bowl of 18th to mid 20th century type. The earliest of the two utilitarian stoneware sherds comes from an 18th century Nottingham Stoneware jar or cup (NOTS). The other sherd is from a 19th to 20th century grey stoneware jar or bottle (ENGS). A small Staffordshire-type White Salt-glazed ware (SWSG) sherd comes from tiny jar or bowl of early/mid to late 18th century date. Two Creamware sherds (CREA) are identifiable as a plate and a small lid. The other tiny flake could come from any form. Creamware was popular between the mid/late 18th and mid 19th centuries. A tiny sherd in a white earthenware fabric (WHITE) with an internal and external burgundy-coloured glaze may be from a cup of 19th to 20th century date.

Two pieces of tile were examined. One fragment is from an 18th to 19th century pantile (PANT) whilst the other piece is from a flat roof tile (PNR) of similar date.
