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 there is a chunk missing from one corner. 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 patches of glaze on all four sides and a small amount on the bottom. On the reverse is a single, central scoop, which is partially filled with mortar. There is also some mortar attached to the bottom.
