The top surface appears to be slightly polished which is the result of being walked over.The other surfaces are rough and irregular in shape.It measures 15.77mm long, 13.09mm wide and 13.23mm deep. It weighs 3.9 grams.The presence of tessera on a site indicates the probability of a mosaic pavement, and therefore a probable villa. If it definitely a tessera, then it is of Roman dating (1st to 4th Centuries AD).
