Some retain lime mortar on the lower surface. Six with mortar on the upper surface have been reused. The upper surfaces of eleven are yellow glazed, i.e. covered with a clear lead glaze over a white slip, and the remainder are covered in a copper rich green glaze or an iron rich brown. One green glazed fragment is at least 127mm in width and is 32mm thick. The others range in thickness from 21 to 26mm. The widths of five are measurable, from 107 to 117mm. Total weight 5.071kg. 15th - early 16th century.Found during consolidation work by Great Yarmouth Preservation Trust on the ruined church of St Margaret on the surface or close to the surface around the outside of the walls. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
