Summary
Floor tile - Design 76 - The tile is large and plain with a dark green glaze. Potentially 14th to 15th century. This design is not in the Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report. The tile is in good condition but one side of the tile expanded during the firing process and is much thicker. There is a thick layer of shiny glaze across the tile, but there are patches where the glaze has worn enough for it to become dull. The top surface is pitted. There are chucks of mortar and patches of glaze on all four sides. On the reverse is a single, central scoop and some mortar.
