MILCW - Mildenhall Coarseware
Orange surfaces, dark grey to black core, medium sandy (clear, brown) with sparse calcareous inclusions. Similar to Ely coarseware and SE Fenland medieval coarseware (Cambs fabric SEFEN). A few sherds were collected during the Fenland Survey (unpublished) and the assemblage was thought to contain wasters (nothing very convincing in samples), suggesting a production site near Mildenhall. Previously MILW.
Example from putative production site at Mildenhall.
