Description: | A large fragment from a fired clay object, probably a tile or perhaps a brick, of Roman date. The surviving fragment is roughly rectangular in form and section, terminating in all directions in old breaks with the exception of two short lengths of the original edges surviving on two sides. The fabric is orange/pink in colour, fired quite hard and with gritty inclusions, some of which are quite large (c.7mm in length). Both surfaces have smoothed slips that are slightly darker in colour than the fabric and with multiple parallel grooves resultant from the proces of manufacture. The entire object has a slightly curved profile, expanding towards one of the small lengths of original edge. It measures 155mm in length, 147.32mm in width, 41.23mm in maximum thickness, and 964g in weight. This is a large fragment probably from a tile given its curvature, although possibly a brick. It is of probable Roman date, c.43-410 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
