Description: | A fragment of fired clay brick or floor tile of Roman date. The surviving fragment has old irregular breaks on three sides and a straight cut on the fourth. It is a bright orange oxidsed fabric with a less oxidised orange-buff core and c. 20-25% coarse sand temper, probably quartz and some chert. One side is almost flat while the other has several broad grooves, probably from the clay been squeezed into a mould. This fragment measures 95mm in length, 65mm in width and varies from 11.5 to 21mm thick at different points. It weighs 123g. This is probably a fragment of Roman brick or floor tile rather than roof tile or similar, dating to c.43-410 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
