Ceramic flue tile fragment. Orange oxidised sandy fabric with combed striations running in two directions, spalled from the side of a thicker box-shaped flue tile. Fiercely abraded. This evidence for a Romanised building is important, though an isolated fragment may have arrived with imported soil rather than representing the site of a building, which might be expected to produce very much greater quantities of more complete tiles.
