Object type: TILE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment of a ceramic Roman tegula roof tile dating to the period AD 43- 410. The fragment of the tile has a visible arch to it, which would have enabled the tiles to interlock with each other. The fragment is well oxidized, with exception to a black reduced core, has a strong orange colour and has a few visible inclusions. The shape is rather irregular due to the breakages, but due to the arch, it can be suggested that the tile was utilized for roofing. The length of the fragment is c. 117.57mm; the width is c. 88.35mm, the thickness is 20.76mm and the weight is 296.57g.

An incomplete Roman puddingstone beehive quern stone, dating to the period AD 1-150 There are a few types of Puddingstone, Green (2017) suggests that it is French and has been imported.

French stones are earlier than Hertfordshire products, and were in fact the basis of a whole industry, as it spre…
