Bronze Age pottery cinerary urn
Gritty, buff-surfaced ware, of early type with very narrow, undecorated, collar (top or rim eroded), high shoulder and hollow neck bearing an incised herring-bone pattern. This has been identified in Savory's Bronze Age catalogue as a collared urn but everted rim is similar in some ways to the 'Yorkshire rim' of the northern food vessel tradition although a later date into the middle Bronze Age cannot be ruled out.
