The last mentioned are in fact much 16th/17th century brown-glazed oxydised earthenware including rims, handles etc; some other fabrics; one black glazed sherd; one underfired base sherd; one spacer tile with thick green glaze. All quite probably kiln rejects.
Also two medieval unglazed sherds, probably strays.
