The earliest inhabitants of Herefordshire did not have pottery. It was first
used in the Neolithic (New Stone Age, from 3000 BC) period and pottery of many
periods is found on archaeological excavations and scattered on the fields of
Herefordshire.
No pottery was made in the area in the early medieval period (from when
Britain ceased to be part of the Roman empire in 410AD to the 10th century). The
only pottery found (and found only rarely) was imported.
