Modern pottery.


A scatter of pottery sherds were recovered from under the turf during site preparation in advance of construction work in the 1960s.


The finds were given to the Manx Museum and are described as having been found in OS Field no . 3060, on the north side of the Spring Valley road. This has to be in error for OS Field no 2060 (the grid reference refers to the centre of the area of the field under development at that time, now Ballaughton Close).


The sherds include a large Buckley style rim, a base with slip-trailed decoration inside and several Staffordshire pottery sherds and date to the late 18th, or early 19th century.


The objects are in the Manx National Heritage collections, accession no. 1964-0401.
