Full Description
Enlarged food vessel found in the east-facing slope of a cairn (NO88NE0006) after machine-scraping and bonfire. The urn stood base uppermost in red silty material. In lifting out, the urn broke and the bones within spilled out. Some were recovered by finder, others by Ian Shepherd. Mr Wilson (finder) is sure that no stone, slab or pebbles lay under the mouth of the urn. Urn bears three cordons and applied herringbone decoration. The urn was definitely set into the slope of the mound, not on the crest or summit.
