A sub rectangular piece of ceramic, crudely moulded. It is orange in colour with some large inclusions. It is a corner of a large, thick tile, with slightly inward sloping sides. One the top of the tile, two crossing lines have been scratched in while the clay was wet, presumably to enable adherence of plaster or similar. It is likely to be part of a hypocaust or box flue system. Found in the vicinity of Roman tile kilns and may possibly have been manufactured there, clay pits have also been identified at the site.

A fragment of a post-Medieval roof tile of earlier date (c.1500-1700 AD).  The fragment is unpatterned, sub-rectangular in plan and slightly curved with a raised concave pattern. The raised parts may in fact be part of the tile's edge decoration. Both the interior and exterior is light orange with darker orange edges. Its core is grey, with very fine inclusions. It has even so slight traces of a brown-red glaze. Measurements: Length 35.28mm, width 28.36mm, thickness 7.10mm and weighs 7.76 g.

The sherd has a light grey core and orange exterior and interior. The fabric is very hard with well-sorted, frequent, small quartz and mica inclusions. The edges are worn breaks.

A fragment of a ceramic object, likely a tile of Roman date (c. AD 43-410). The object is roughly parallelogram in plan and has a sub-rectangular cross section. The object has reddish-orange surfaces, margins, and core. The fabric has sparse to moderate, poorly sorted coarse quartz inclusions, along with possible sparse grog tempering. One side is largely flat whilst the other has the remnants of a paw print of an animal. Due to the size (23.21mm wide and 20.82mm), lack of clear claw marks, and asymmetry of the paw print, it is most likely the paw print of a cat. Dimen…
