Dear Inés,
You may well have ruled out the Ericaceae but I would go for Calluna vulgaris. The Island is Wight.
How about Pteridium for the pottery impression?
Best wishes,
Mark

Subject: leaf ID help
Dear all
Any ID suggestions for these leaves from quite deep within boreholes in the Isle of White? I have some ideas on the Cupressaceae but none are native to the UK so I am a bit suspicious that I may be missing something. I've ruled out Ericaceae.
Would you also have suggestions for ID for this leaf imprint on pottery?
Thanks a lot
Ines
