Medieval pottery including complete 13th century Grimston Ware jug.
Pottery held by Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1959.100 : A).
Information from (S1). These discoveries were noted in (S2) and the discovery of the jug was reported in the local press (S3). The Grimston Ware jug is also described and figured in (S4).

See notes by D. R. Howlett (NCM) for further details (S5).
