An incomplete tile dating to the Late Roman period. It is roughly triangular in shape and has a light orange brown colouring with a dark grey reduction layer running through the centre. On one side in the bottom right hand corner is the impression from a dog's paw. The tile was located in the same area as the 3rd century Roman fort of Othona at Bradwell-on-Sea, which was constructed around the time of the Carausian Revolt (AD286-296).

Frgament of tile, possibly Roman in date. This fragment is subrectangular in plan and section. It is 35.5mm long, 31.92mm wide, 21.82mm thick and weighs 38.87g. It is fairly abraded and worn, but it is possible to see that the tile has misfired, in that it has two orange coloured faces and a dark grey core. Though a Roman date is postulated, given the wear, it could be possible that this tile dates from any period upto the 18th century.
