Description: | The object is a fragment of a ceramic roof tile. All the edges of the tile are broken. Off-centre there is a square shaped hole, which is large on one face than the other.
The fabric of the tile is sandy and micaeous. There is a single large red quartz-like inclusion. There are smaller rounded white quartz like inclusions. In colour the fabric is orange throughout.
Derek Hurst dates the tile to the Medieval period, which is suggested by the shape of the hole. | 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 | Temporal: | 1200
