The whole tile would be similar to those inventoried as CMS no. 1991070. This tile has what would likely have been dark green glaze. On the reverse is evidence of a scoop. Potentially 14th to 15th century. This design is not in the Burnett-Brown Tile Collection Report. The fragment only consists of one acute angle corner and two outside sides, including and scored and snapped side. The broken side is very uneven. On top there is a small amount of glaze. Along one side there some chunks of mortar.
