It's Passiflora and looks very like P. edulis. Maybe the Romans did "discover" the Americas after all!

Subject: Indeterminate seed
Can anyone help to identify this seed?
It is from a ditch fill on a site in North Lincolnshire (probably Roman). The scale bar is in millimetres, so it is just under 6mm long and as the side view shows, it wants to split in two. The few other charred remains in the context were barley grains and arable weeds.
Thanks
