Description: | Ceramic tile fragment. A sherd from a handmade tile, in a pale buff fabric with numerous voids, frequent rounded inclusions up to c.4mm in length, and rare spots of a dark shiny material. The upper surface (as moulded) bears striking off marks; the lower surface is also smooth, rather than being sanded as might be expected with a roof tile. This may suggest a use within a stove as a firebrick, though the fabric is perhaps rather open in texture for this use. Probably a non-local product, presumably brought to its find spot via the River Trent. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900.Thickness: 17.1mm, Weight: 38.30gms.
