Description

County Archaeologist Laurence Keen observed trenches dug at Bindon Abbey in the north transept and area to the north, during unblocking of land-drains. A large quantity of worn medieval floor-tiles was retrieved and a dark green glazed plain mosaic floor-tile, probably thirteenth century in date. Mosaic tiles have not been recored from Bindon before, or from any Dorset site.
