    It would have gone out of a populated area in the night soil and dumped far away from human habitats.
    There is literally tons of this stuff all over the fields where I live, dumped from the city in the 18th and early 19th century.

    I can see shards of pottery sticking out of the earth when I walk past farmland near to my home.

    The fields are very fertile now a produce excellent crops.

    Good deductions Q,that's basic Archaeology-nice find.Ironstone's something one might've brought to a picnic back then.
    I dug a large hunk of Ironstone platter years ago.I found in a freshly dug pit under a 1900's building years ago.It was next to a 'glop top' 1880's sauce bottle.
    The shard had an exotic (Egyptian ?) scene on it.
