Title: A piece of Roman Hypocaust tile I think. Post by: herbie on February 17, 2013, 02:38:12 PM Found this a few months ago whilst out on my Roman field, didn't think too much about it at the time, but have done a bit more research and believe it to be part of a Roman Hypocaust tile, which, if it is sheds a whole new light on my site :)

Well will have to go and find some more. Title: Re: A piece of Roman Hypocaust tile I think.

Sorry Chef, didn't realise that, it's just the ones I'd looked at were all hypocaust tiles, which obviously led me down that route ;) Title: Re: A piece of Roman Hypocaust tile I think.
