Urn of reddish clay and rounded in form. It "... measures 2 inches in height by 1 3/4 inches across the mouth, the greatest diameter is 3 inches towards the upper part of the urn, where it is pierced with a pair of holes, 1 1/2 inches apart, on one side only, and it tapers downwards to a small base of about one inch across, - unfortunately it has been much chipped on its sides. The upper part is ornamented with a herringbone pattern, and the rest of the urn is plain. It was found along with a number of cists containing urns, in some excavations at Crailinghall, near Jedburgh, and was contained in a larger wide-mouthed cinerary urn of blackish clay, 4 1/2 inches in height, covered over with a rude pattern of a series of short lines, showing toothed or twisted cord markings.
