Description
Almost complete hand made cinerary urn 'of Iron Age A or Saxon date' coarse brown ware, containing a few burnt bones. Found when sinking a water-tank 24/3/1938 in the north-west corner of Meanee Barracks, 15 yards from north and 14 yards from west boundary of the yard. A note in the accession register states ' It is not now clear whether these measurements were (or could) be taken from the outer boundary of the property, perhaps more probably from the inner face of the surrounding buildings'.<1><2>
