Not African Red Slip Ware, but rather earlier, Central Gaulish samian ware (rim from a form 37 decorated bowl). Still a significant find (and less difficult to explain than ARSW in combination with E Ware.
I know 'ARSW' was what they were saying on site (and on TV), but it is very obviously not (shape, fabric, surface treatment). See my piece in Chris Lowe's 2009 Whithorn burials report ('Clothing for the Soul Divine') for some more background.
