Full Description

Excavation and watching brief on land at the Sensory Garden Site, Transport Quarter, Gravesend, Kent. Undertaken by Archaeology South-East between October 2010 and February 2011.

Roman ceramic building material consisting of fragments of brick, three conjoining tegula fragments and a tile fragment were recovered from a hillwash deposit.

The Roman material was all in a fine sandy orange fabric with moderate fine quartz and sparse white flecking. The tegula has a squared flange of 23mm thickness. The brick fragment is of 35mm thickness and has two finger imprints in the upper surface and an indented margin underneath, possibly suggesting the brick had been laid overlapping with others during the
drying phase. (1)
