A fragment of Romano-British (AD 43-410) ceramic box flue tile. It has an L-shaped profile, retaining vertical parallel combed grooves on one face. The fabric is oxidised, sandy, micaceous and with numerous small holes from eroded-out inclusions. It measures 64.0x53.4x18.6mm and weighs 64.03g.
Box flue tiles were used to create flues in the walls of a building, through which hot air generated by the hypocaust system would pass. The linear grooves decorating the surfaces are keying to improve the adhesion of wall plaster.

A fragment of Roman tile with combed decoration, possibly a box flue tile. The tile seems to have a diagonal break on one side, but it is very smooth and quite regular. The fragment is broadly triangular, seemingly with two original sides. There is a slight lip on one side, but very abraded. The combing is a five groove border with further tooling in the angle at the corner. The oxidised orange tile has coarse sand tempering with some grog inclusions, creamier than the light-orange colour overall.

A fragment of Roman tile with combed decoration, probably a hypocaust flue tile. The tile has breaks on two sides. Part of the third side remains and is at 90 degrees to the top; the fourth side is bevelled out at 70 degrees, a break on the back running along this edge may indicate it was originally a box tile. The combing is a five line border and crossed made by the same tooling in the centre. The oxidised orange tile has coarse sand tempering with some grog and small stone inclusions.

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.
