Early Bronze Age pottery collared urn
Oxidised yellow brown surfaces with distinct blackening near the rim. The vessel has an inverted internally bevelled rim and a wide collear, with a sharply angled shoulder, producing a tripartite profile.
On the collar there is incised herringbone patterning, whilst on the neck is a frieze of concentric vertical triangles, filled with a background of horizontal lines.
Most of the rim and collar has survived, however, about half of the lower body is reconstructed.
