Full description

Part of a large barrow group most of which is now destroyed (4666). Borlase notes that fragments of another urn of similar type to that from Rogers 1840 excavation (4666.01) were found in the vicinity and are also at Truro Museum (b1). This urn find could represent a third barrow excavation during the C19, and it may have come from one of the surviving barrows (4666.03 or 4666.04).
