Description: | A fragment of a Roman ceramic box flue tile.The piece is irregular in plan with none of the original edges surviving. The fabric is light greyish-pink in colour and is heavily shell-tempered, indicating a probable origin in the South Midlands, probably North Bedfordshire. Most of the outer surface bears a pattern of straight, parallel grooves and ridges, which has been created using a comb. At one end the straight lines cease and give way to a double-grooved chevron.The edges are slightly abraded. It measures 81mm long, 70.7mm wide and 14.7mm thick. The weight is 80.6g.
