Bulk of pottery found is medieval with fabrics falling into three categories:- Black/dark sandy fabric, unglazed, probably earliest in date. White gritty fabric with green glaze including some highly decorated wares. A reduced pinkish, sandy fabric, in both coarsewares and glazed wares and comprising more than 50% of the total sherds. Local parallels includes the pottery from Audlem operating circa 1250-1300 and Ashton operating in 14th century; with both kiln sites there appears to be parallels with the large pottery centres of the Midlands. Report includes drawings of pottery finds and lists of contexts from which they were found.
