Fig. 103.
The first example ([fig. 99]), from Trentham, in Staffordshire, is, it will be seen, of very rude form and make, and its ornamentation of simple character. [Fig. 102], from Fimber, in Yorkshire (5⅝ inches in depth and 6½ inches wide at the mouth), is of a more usual form, and is more advanced in point of ornamentation. [Fig. 103] is from Hitter Hill, Derbyshire, as is also [fig. 104]. They were found in the interments shown on figs. [10], [11], and [12].

The first of these urns is four and three quarter inches in height, and five and a half inches in diameter at the top. It is richly ornamented with the usual diagonal and herring-bone lines, formed by twisted thongs impressed into the soft clay, in its upper part. Around the body of the urn itself, however, is a pattern of lozenge form, very unusual on vessels of this period. The second urn is five and a quarter inches in height, and six and a quarter inches in diameter at the top. It is very richly ornamented with the characteristic patterns found on the Celtic urns of this district, and is one of the finest and most elaborately ornamented which has been exhumed.
On Wykeham Moor, Yorkshire, some urns of a different form, wide at the mouth, were discovered by that hard-working antiquary, the Rev. Canon Greenwell.
