Full description
Seventh century pouch bottle urn, redware, decorated with dot incised bands and chevron. Found at Vicar's Grove Gravel Pit in 1938; Hitchin Museum (Acc 8) <1>. Davis describes a 'late 6th century Gourd-shaped pot with decoration faintly akin to stamped pendent triangle panel style found at Vicar's Grove Sandpit, Gosmore, TL187270' <2>. It is evident that <2> is referring to the same pot. The pit is not shown on the 1925 OS map <6>, but is on current mapping and is now disused.
<4> dates the vessel to the very end of the 6th century.
