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> 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>
