Description: | Corner fragment of Roman fired clay tile, measuring 89 x 86 x 41mm, and stamped IVC DIGNI within a rectangular area defined by a raised rectangular border (the dimensions of which are 78 x 20mm) The reverse side is damaged and much of the original surface is missing. The section shows a 15-20mm thickness of grey surrounded by the oxidised orange colour. There are some areas of darker colour on the outside surfaces - possible evidence of sooting? The stamp IVC DIGNI is recognised as coming from the Cotswolds and Lower Severn Valley area, which includes sites in North Wiltshire. One of the most productive sites in the area was that at Minety, where at least 10 kilns are thought to have existed. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
