ecmgardner hit the nail on the head - report the find to the local PAS officer: I think it is currently Rebecca Morris (Rebecca.Morris@ymt.org.uk).
Assessing pottery by photo is always difficult, but as you are in Yorkshire, you may want to start by looking at the white and parchment wares produced by the Crambeck industry and at York. for very useful fabric descriptions you may also find the National Roman Fabric Reference Collection very helpful (http://www.molas.org.uk/projects/fabrics...eport=nrfc).
Please let us know what you find out, this is definitely the right place to get people interested.
