There appears to be a white clay pipe just above the center of the photo…?
Two clay pipe bowls one just below the other
Eggs.
Clay Pipes and some interesting shards of Pottery with holes in them, there is something just on the edge of my memory concerning these, but I can’t put my finger on it, Old Age is shite.
They’re big chunks of (possibly mediaeval) roof tile, with the holes in for fixing them to the laths in roofs. The ‘modern’ curved interlocking Dutch pantiles only became common after the late 17th century.
As well as the clay pipes, there’s a scattering of late mediaeval pot in there as well…
Wow! What a lot of interesting stuff. I agree with the above, but missed the lower clay pipe on my first look. There is something that looks like the head and shoulders of a ceramic model of a small bird, near the left edge, and just below the line of the holey roof tile (?) near the centre.
Jerry, any chance in future you could superimpose a grid on these “spot the ?” photos, to make describing a find easier?
It’s a rock.
