The prehistoric pottery sherds from this site are the subject of a short report by A. Lawson in (S1). The sherds found in 1948 are the remains of at least three vessels and include a rim sherd that is probably from a Middle Bronze Age Biconical Urn. The Biconical Urn The urn found in 1950 is illustrated and identified as a Middle Bronze Age Biconical Urn. The Biconical Urn sherds from this site are also described and illustrated in (S2).
