Description: Savannah found this one just below a path we understand to be the ancient road which cuts across the southwest side of the mountain near the top. The road is marked with boulders here and again and descends on the southeastern side of the main ridge down to the lower-altitude ridge.

The sherd yet retains some of its original glaze and sports a lovely swirl pattern on the inside. It could be Roman and it could be Moorish; we cannot be sure.
