Description: | Ceramic building material roof tile fragments. Three sherds (a-c) of a dull red hard sandy fabric with very occasional voids to length 4mm; handmade roof tile. Sanded surfaces appear on both sides of the smallest sherd (a); on the convex surface of the largest (b) where it is accompanied by a slip on the opposite side; and perhaps on the concave surface of the curled edge of the third (c). The curvature apparent on (a) and (c) indicates they are from pantiles, a form of Low Countries origin adopted in the Humber region from the mid 17th century and still manufactured locally today. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1650-1950Combined Weight: 121.01gms; Thickness: (a): 13mm, (b): 15mm, (c): 15mm
