Description
A complete Dressel 1B amphora (broken and repaired in recent years) was found in the nineteenth century somewhere in the area of White Colne. The vessel is now at Prested Hall, Feering, but was formerly kept at Colne Priory. It is presumably the only surviving remnant of a Welwyn type grave.
