Summary
Floor tile - Design 60 - Fragment - The tile has two birds addorsed, either side of a thin stylised tree. The design is set diagonally. Potentially mid 13th to early 14th century. (Group F – Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report). The tile fragment is a side piece from a tile which appears to have been purposely split in half. The fragment is in fair condition. Some slip remains but there are areas where it is missing or chipped and therefore, thin. There is no glaze on the slip or the body of the tile but there are small patches along one edge.
