MDE1042 - Prehistoric pottery on Trentishoe Down (Monument)

SS 630 477. A sherd of coarse dark clay, 0.4 inches thick with the remains of an abraded low cordon in applied clay, decorated with diagonal nicks, was found on Trentishoe Down by Mr SF Shutter, after ploughing. It is probably part of a Late Bronze Age or Iron Age vessel and is the first example of pottery of this period to be recorded in North Devon. [1,2] The sherd's current location is unknown. [3] This record was enhanced as part of the National Record of the Historic Environment to Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record data transfer project. [4]
