Introduction

This small sample consists of two items: a fragment of roof tile, and a piece of brick.

Post medieval material

The sample consists of post medieval material. There is one fragment of roofing pan tile, which has been reused. Pan tile was introduced into England in the 17th century. However, due to the refined nature of the fabric of the pan tile in this sample, it probably no earlier than the 18th century in date

The one fragment of brick is over fired, and was probably slop moulded (where the brick mould was rinsed out in water before throwing in the clay). Judging by the measurements of this brick it is probably 18th century or later in date.

Recommendations

It is recommended that this sample is retained for further study.
