Description: | A ceramic fragment, possibly from a roof tile dating from the Roman to the modern periods. In profile, the fragment is a very gently S shaped, with a pronounced flange on one side at the top. All of the edges are broken except the flanged edge, which is straight. The fabric is brown/orange with large grains of grit. The fragment is 85.5mm long, 74.8mm wide, and 22.1mm thick excluding the flange. The fragment has a mass of 137.8g. Roman roof tiles (tegulae) have flanges but are essentially flat rather than curved (e.g. see de la Bedoyere, 1989, p.111) but the incomplete nature of the tile complicates dating.
