Abstract:

During 2004 fragments of Roman tile were discovered on Hatherleigh Moor; some of the pieces are wasters, indicating the site of a Roman tilery. Geophysical survey of the area has identified the probable site of a kiln, with possible evidence of ancillary structures. Petrological examination has shown that the tiles made here have a distinctive fabric. Comparative study of the petrology of tiles from five other Roman sites in mid-Devon showed that tiles were manufactured by at least five tileries. Separately authored contributions include
