Full Description

Ceramic building material (CBM) such as bricks and tiles of medieval and possibly Roman date were recovered from samples from a dark blue grey alluvial clay (context [7]).

Context [7], sample 2, contained 70g of CBM, one fragment is of possible Roman tile. An abraded fragment of reduced peg tile in probable Tyler Hill fabric of mid 13th to 14th century date. Two fragments were of under fired, fine sandy orange brick of possible 15th to 17th century date. A fragment of CBM weighing less than 1g peg tile is of a coarse fabric with moderate angular quartz and may be medieval in date.

The abraded nature of the CBM suggests it has moved considerably from the original point of deposition. (1)
