Very cool, you live in a beautiful country full of great history...
The heat is killing me.
The pottery looks like it might be 18th C.

I'm not 100% sure, hard to tell on that photo & the normal black shine of 18th C pottery may have been river washed, or it is an odd looking bit of Nene-Valley Painted Ware (Roman).
