Three plain ceramic floor tiles of late medieval to post medieval date, found as part of a larger group. The tiles are all slightly trapizoid with two shorter edges opposite each other, one shorter than the other, connected by two longer, slightly angled edges. Laid together this would allow them to gradually curve around a feature although the curve is so slight that it cannot be clearly calculated from three tiles, beyond a suggestion it was probably at least 2m in diameter. The tiles are plain with no glaze remaining and deep parallel grooves on the upper face suggesting knife cut …

The tiles are both incomplete with no complete edges although it appears likely their longest dimensions are their maximums or close to them. One is covered on all surfaces with the remains of mortar, making further identification impossible. The other has a very worn surface with small areas olive green glaze surviving and patching grey reduced areas suggesting further glazing covered most of or the entire surface.
