Early Iron Age bowl and pottery sherds, south-west of Ropers Farm (EHER 11260)

An Early Iron Age spherical bowl (and fragments of another) of 'bead rim' type were recovered during the laying of a sewer pipeline in 1939 or 1940. They may be contemporary with EHER 11290 which is a record for Iron Age urns, which were recovered during the same event but from a different location.
