[Fig. 89], from Trentham, Staffordshire, is a remarkably fine urn of the same character as the preceding examples, and [fig. 90], from Darwen, Lancashire, has a central band as well as the overlapping rim. Figs. [91] and [92] are of totally different form; their ornamentation consisting of incised lines and impressed thumb marks, etc.[27] They are from Dorsetshire. The next example, from Darley Dale ([fig. 93]), is of a different type, as are also figs. [94], from Stone, Staffordshire, and [95] and [96], from Cleatham, in Lincolnshire. Other forms, again, are shown on [fig. 97], from the Calais Wold-barrow, Yorkshire, discovered by Mr. Mortimer. It is eleven inches in height, and is ornamented with a number of small semi-punctures. A very fine urn was discovered by the Rev. Canon Greenwell in a barrow on Sutton Brow, near Thirsk, in the same county. It is sixteen inches in height, and eighteen in width, and is ornamented with lines produced by an impressed cord or thong, and by semi-punctures or indentations. The next example ([fig. 98]) is from Darley Dale, and is, as will be seen from the engraving, of a very different character from the other examples given. Around the upper portion are encircling lines, between which is the usual zigzag ornament. Around the central band, too, are encircling lines, between which are a series of vertical zigzag lines. The whole of the ornamentation has been produced by pressing twisted thongs into the pliant clay—some, however, being of much tighter twist than others. Inside, the rim is ornamented with encircling and diagonal lines. It has on its centre band four projecting handles or loops, which are pierced, as shown in the engraving. Another form, with small loops on its sides, is shown on [fig. 99], which was found in one of the Cornish barrows, as was also [fig. 100], which appears to have a kind of ear, or semi-handle, at its sides.
