The jug is unglazed and there are shallow rilled grooves horizontally around the body. Moderately hackly fracture, light grey external surface blending across the core to a light brown internal surface. Sandy feel, moderate-abundant fine quartz, occasional medium quartz and rare very coarse calcareous inclusions up to 3mm.'
