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>

Crummy (1981, p.14) records, 'A complete pot containing at least fourteen fragments of cremated human bone was discovered in the north-west corner of the Meanee Barracks on 24th March 1938. The pot is unburnished and grass tempered and is most likely to be of 6th or 7th century date'.<2>
