Full Description
Two rim fragments of an enlarged food vessel urn. The rim has a steeply inclined internal bevel decorated with two lines of regularly incised chevrons, and a vertical external bevel. Both this, and the carination at the base of the concave neck, bear roughly incised short diagonal lines. The neck zone is spanned by an applied chevron cordon decorated with short incisions. The triangular zones formed by the cordon are themselves filled with irregular rows of roughly incised chevrons. These sherds were probably from the material that was dispersed from the Meikle Kinord Museum in the 1890s. These sherds may be taken as originating from Meikle Kinord. It is conceivable that they represent the urns found at Newton of Tillycairn in 1828 (see Cowie and Shepherd PSAS 110).
