An early style Collared Urn, buried inverted. It's walls are 9-11mm in width with a rim diameter of 210-220mm,
It has an upright pointed rim with a tall but shallow concave internal bevel. The outer part of the rim forms an exterior collar, below which is a concave neck, curving out to the belly in a continuous sinuous line.
The lower belly and base are missing.
The collar is decorated with three roughly horizontal lines of faint twisted cord, and the neck has a horizontal herringbone design, again of faint twisted cord impressions.
The pot appears to be undecorated below that. Inclusions are hard to see but may include grog.
It shows an affinity with vase urns (discussed in Lynch 2000b, 118-9)
