Two pieces of brick of unknown date.
A large rectangular brick measuring 270.6mm in length 115mm wide and 60mm in thickness. The brick has been unevenly fired and is a buff orange-red to brown colour. In the centre of the brick a U-shaped channel has been hand cut. The channel was probably intended to carry water. The base of the brick is flat and the top is irregular due to breaks. The brick is an unusually large size. The exact date of the object is unknown.
An incomplete fragment of brick of uncertain date. Each face of the brick has been broken. A U-shaped channel has been cut along the brick probably for carrying water. The fragment was found in relation to the larger brick and it is possible that they formed part of the same piece. The colour of the fragment varies from dark grey to orange. The fragment measures 140mm in width, 77mm in length and is 80.1mm thick.
