Well if I was still living in north Essex I could have popped round to see Carenza Lewis and asked her, but that would have meant breaking the restraining order:001_smile:

Some are definitely tiles having two straight sides and some have curves. There are a lot of land drains pieces so I had to grade them out.

To the subject in hand, (ahem), roof tiles, possibly Roman, possibly Cotswold in origin? Where are you too?
