Description: | Ceramic building material rooftile fragments. Eight shards of roof tile, including flat and curved fragments, the latter at least probably from pan tiles. One side of each fragment is heavily sanded, showing that the green tiles were laid on a sand bed immediately after being shaped in an open wooden mould, or that curved formers were thickly strewn with sand to prevent the clay adhering. Most of the fabric is reduced, and one or two sherds appear overfired, so these may be seconds, if not wasters. The introduction of pan tiles from the Low Countries into the regional building traditions of Eastern England probably began in the later 17th century, Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1675-1875.Weight: c.360gms, Thickness: 13-18mm.
