Description: | A fragment of a ceramic floor tile, probably dating from the medieval period, AD 1200-1500. The fabric is fine grained and a pale orange in colour with occasional, dark red grog inclusions. On the underside is a thin layer of pale grey material, perhaps some kind of mortar. There is also a raised section of the main fabric in the shape of an equal armed cross which may have helped the tile to remain bonded to the floor. On the upper surface is a thin layer of patterned glaze. This is in two shades of green and is divided by two thin lines of black glaze that appear to be part of the arm of a star or sun of narrow rays. The lighter of the two shades of green occupies the section between the two black lines. The fragment is 38.6mm long, 29.1mm wide and 10.2mm thick. It weighs 11.83gm.
