A fragment of Roman box flue tile, which has a blue tinge on all sides due to exposure to heat. The largest external face marked with waved lines, before firing, for practical purposes. The corresponding internal face is plain, with one end raised to create the box nature of the tile (tile thickness 26.2mm, at raised end 34.7mm). The tile is coarseware, but the visible inclusions are less than 5mm², apart from one which is less than 10mm². There is rounding of the edges caused by wear while buried, as box tiles were designed to have clean edges to fit together better.
