Description: | Five large sherds of Roman Tegula, one sherd of Roman box flue tile and two other tile sherds that may also be Roman.
All the sherds are oxidised orange in colour, although two of the tegulae have patches of grey in the core. Two other of the tegulae sherds have severely abraded surfaces that appear to have been cleaned recently with a stiff or wire brush. One tegula sherd has traces of white mortar on its upper and lower surfaces. The sherd of box flue is also badly abraded through normal taphonomic processes, although the incised comb lines are still visible. Two other non-descript flat tile sherds may also be fragment of tegulae or box flue although a positive identification is not possible.
