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 corner piece and is in good condition but it is quite thin. Slip is present but it is chipped and, therefore, thin in places and very little is glazed. On the body, one of the outer sides has a patch of thin glaze and there is glaze on the edges of the corner.
