Medieval Material

The medieval material consists of roof tile.    Peg tile is present, of the normal type for this area, having a central square/diamond shaped peg hole positioned to the top edge of the tile.

 

Post medieval material

This material consisted of brick.  Varying in sizes, most of the brick had fine or medium sanding, and was probably slop moulded (where the mould was rinsed out with water before each brick was made.   One brick has what appears to be the impression of a worm on its bottom surface (context 5040).  Another brick had a  covering of  pink plaster or paint (context 5056).  None of the bricks have medieval features or a combination of measurements that would point to bricks of this date.
