Description: | A fragment of Roman tile with combed decoration, probably a hypocaust flue tile. The tile has breaks on two sides. Part of the third side remains and is at 90 degrees to the top; the fourth side is bevelled out at 70 degrees, a break on the back running along this edge may indicate it was originally a box tile. The combing is a five line border and crossed made by the same tooling in the centre. The oxidised orange tile has coarse sand tempering with some grog and small stone inclusions.
