Roman material

This material was very fragmentary, so that identification of forms is difficult. However, there is a fragment of imbrex (roofing tile) and a possible tegula (also roofing tile). Some of the material is burnt.

Other material

Other material in the sample comprises: daub, slag, amphora and fragments of stone.

Comments

The fragmentary nature of the material suggests that this site is perhaps on the very edges of a Roman site. The presence of slag and daub, if it is Roman, may indicate some sort of industrial working.

This sample should be retained until further study of the area, and then the material can take place.
