Add to album
The fragment of a concrete floor was found at the site of the Roman fort of Mumrills in Stirlingshire. It was built sometime between 140 and 165 AD.
The coarse, pebbly concrete flooring is pink in colour. It is from the corner of a floor.
Before the Romans, homes were made with local materials, most of which have long decayed. The Romans introduced a range of new building materials such as plaster, mortar and cement. Tiles and bricks were used for roofing and internal fittings.
