Bronze Age burial from Murton (Ord)

Three urns, together with fragments of larger urns, were found at Murton (NT 968486) in a low mound of light sandy soil. They 'were covered or intermixed with stones disposed without order', and 'were filled with a fine black dust or ash, and in some of them fragments of bone were detected'. The illustration shows overhanging rimmed urns and pigmy vessel. (1)
