Roman Barracks

[PhilusEstilius]

Neil. When I'm out metal detecting I find bits of pot shards and now and then what I take to be pieces of Roman roof tile, these give the impression that the tiles were square with a right angle bend on one edge. I get the impression that rooves may have had horizontaly spaced lats where these tiles would be layed on at their right angle bend, pinned of course and then the roof built up from the bottom to the ridge would I be correct in this kind of assumption. Infact some of these pieces I find show that the red brick types were about an inch in thickness very sturdy realy.
