Chalk floor tile fragment. A flat slab of chalk, smoothed by wear on its upper and lower sides, and probably broken on all other sides; dark grey burning traces on one of these edges might indicate the position in which this object was reused along with other rubble in the construction of a flue shaft, with the discoloured part exposed to the hot air flow. The smoothing of both the upper and lower surfaces may suggest the slab had been inverted in the course of a prolonged primary use, during or after which it was broken. Other finds suggest a firm Roman date for both the primary and …

One inlaid ceramic floor tile of Medieval date, similar to 'Stabbed Wessex' types dating to 1280 to 1350, found as part of a larger group. The tile has parts of two complete edges and two broken sides, no edge is complete so the original size is unclear. The tile has a heavily reduced interior which appears hard and with a bright orange oxidised surface. The front is decorated with inlaid white clay with traces of glaze remaining in places. The design is mostly worn, the clearest part remaining is of a quadruped, probably a dog walking left with front legs split and straight back legs…

Two ceramic floor tiles of uncertain, probably medieval to post medieval date, found as part of a larger group. 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. The back is covered in mortar but stabbing visible in the b…

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 …
