These two items are a strong indication that there was a quality Roman building somewhere in the area of Damson Trees and Sandhill in Shrivenham. The Tile has deep score lines built into it for the purpose of adhering plaster, suggesting a high status building. The rim sherd is of a common type of grey ware pottery, probably from a local kiln.
