Fig. 662 shows a series of vaulting ribs, the two upper ones being of a
somewhat early date, while the others are later in character.
Many tiles have been found in the ruins, which are now preserved in the
house; and a few of them are illustrated. In Fig. 664 we have two square
tiles, the lesser one having an olive-green ground with a white pattern;
the larger one is a red pattern on a white ground. Those shown on Figs.
665 and 666 are shaped tiles, cut out by hand to the actual form of the
figure, so that each separate tile is of one colour--in Fig. 665 it is a
dark green ground with a yellow figure, and on Fig. 666 a black and
brown ground with a white figure.
