Description: | A collection of 11 fragments of square ceramic roof tile (tegulae) from a fieldwalking exercise on the site of a known Roman villa. The pieces range in size from 46.9mm by 37.1mm, to 136.8mm by 28.9mm in area, and between 28.87g and 269.83g. The total weight of the assemblage is 1.59kg. The fabrics vary from a pinkish-orange sand and grog-tempered material, to a deep reddish-brown with crushed chalk inclusions. There are also variations in the flange profiles, which suggests the possible presence of several different buildings, or several periods of building within the same structure. Where flanges exist these are generally narrow with near vertical sides. A few of the tiles have wider flanges with a more stepped profile. These differences in flange type tend to be mirrored by the variations in fabric type. The photograph shows a selection of the assemblage.
