Description: | Pot or cremation urn in dark, unglazed, burnished earthenware, Waist decorated with a series of parallel bands, everted rim, ring-base foot, raised ring moulding at neck
"This urn dates from the later Iron Age and is of the Romano-British or early Anglo-Saxon type. The urn is finely made and has a ring foot, an everted rim, a wide, curved body and a raised collar around the narrow neck. There are bands lightly etched on to the waist. The urn was collected from a late Iron Age / Early Saxon cemetery at Kempstone, Bedfordshire in the mid 19th century. With it were some limestone beads, a boar's tusk, a bronze fibula and another pot, all said to be found together about 6m below the surface in a gravel quarry. A fibula in the style of the late La Tene period accompanied the urn."
