8. Portions of a vessel of light grey ware with darker
particles and with a soapy textured, light red surface, slightly pitted.
This group may be dated to the beginning of the second century by the
presence of the Drag. 35-36 patera.
Group E.
This group was found south-east of Group A and consisted of
9. A butt-shaped beaker of thin, sandy, light red ware, body
ornamented with a band of rouletting between two girth grooves and below a
cordon. The base is slightly hollow: For a history of this type see
Bushe-Fox, Swarling Report, page 15, No. 34. Our specimen is not likely to
be much later than 50 A.D.

10. A small vase of Saint Remy ware. It has a fine white
paste and a reddish brown slip. The neck and base are narrow, but the
actual rim and foot ring are well turned. The body, which was made in a
mould has a band of raised ornament above a cordon at the greatest
diameter.
This specimen may be compared with a small jug of the same
fabric found at Bapchild, near Sittingbourne, published in the Antiquarie8
Journal, Vol. X, page 161. Like its associated pot, this vessel
dates within a few years of the middle of the first century.
Portions of several other pots were found with this group
but they were so fragmentary that they have not been drawn. |
