Introduction Members of Hastings Area Archaeological Research Group conducted geophysical surveys at Smallhythe Place, Smallhythe Road, Tenterden, Kent between July 2019 – January 2020 (Cornwell & Cornwell 2020). During the field work artefacts were identified at two locations in Elfwick Field (site ‘A’ centred on NGR TQ 89274 30019 & site ‘B’ TQ 89250 29909). Nathalie Cohen, National Trust Archaeologist for London and the South East was alerted and the authors of this report were invited to comment on the archive. The Romano-British Ceramic Building Material (CBM) has been compared with previous analyses undertaken by Hastings Area Archaeological Research Group on archives from Castle Croft, Ninfield (Cornwell et al Summer 2007), Kitchenham Farm, Ashburnham (Cornwell et al Winter 2007; Cornwell & Cornwell Summer 2008), Chitcombe Farm, Brede (report forthcoming), Eight Acre Field, Crockers, Northiam (report forthcoming), Fagg Farm, Udimore (Cornwell & Cornwell 2016), Poplin Marsh, Eastbourne (Cornwell 2016) and Old House Farm, Ringmer (Cornwell 2018). The material has been divided into identifiable categories which include tegulae, imbrices, box-flue, flat tile/brick groups, here referred to as flat tiles. These have been sub-divided and the details commented on. A percentage of the material is abraded and cannot to be categorized as is common on many sites.
