Description: | Fragment of a post-medieval maltings floor tile. The object has a flat upper surface with panels of five circular holes through it. The underneath of the object has a gridded integral stand. The object fabric is cream, and has a light brown-orange mottled glaze. Floor tiles such as these were used in Malthouses. The barley was laid out on the malting floor to germinate, and the holes allowed air to circulate around the malt.
