016.08 | About the year 1850 there was found on the west side of the road near Elf Hillock, an Urn containing a quantity of ashes and half burnt bones. The Urn was formed of clay, which had apparently been Sun dried, as it mouldered to pieces as soon as it was exposed to the air. The dimensions of the Urn were about 22 Inches deep and 10 inches diameter at the mouth, it was in an upright position when found, which was during the operation of widening and repairing the road. The Urn was ornamented by cross lines, and similar in shape to the Sketch on margin. [signed] B. Render Corpl. R.E. [Corporal Royal Engineers] |
