A widthdimension of 276 mm was noted on what is probably either a pedalis(approximately 1 Roman foot square) or a lydion (approximately 1 by 1.5Roman feet). The majority of fragments are between 28 mm and 40 mmthick, with a small number of tiles up to a maximum of 48 mm. Only oneunusual brick was noted, 22 mm thick with a circular hole 10 mm indiameter centred 33 mm from one end and 35 mm from the side ([1085])(Fig.1). This may be a parietalis, a facing brick used with spacer bobbinsand nails or cramps to create a cavity wall, although it does not have thekeyed surface usual to parietales (Brodribb 1987, 58-60). A number of thebricks have reduced surfaces, vitrified moulding sand or the irregularfractures typically caused by repeated heating and cooling.5.2.6.2 Roofing tile: tegula (fabrics R1/R2, R3); imbrex (fabrics R2, R3, R4)There are no tiles or fragments with complete dimensions.
