photographs. These and the urn itself as well as a painting of 

 it by Mr Turnbull of Abbey St Bathans, were submitted to Mr 

 John T. Dixon, Rothbury, who drew the figure engraved, — Fig. 

 6. The urn was again restored to Mr Haseldine.

Fig. 6. 



The urn is of the food-vessel type, clumsily shaped like a bowl, 

 and rudely constructed out of the clay of decomposed porphyry 

 rocks, such as at present occurs in some of the Cheviot ravines, 

 and contains numerous gritty particles of the rock itself. It is 

 5i inches in height ; diameter at the mouth 5f ; greatest circum- 

 ference 19 or 19^ inches. The base is flattened for standing : its 

 diameter is 3J- inches. The blackened interior is smoothened in 

 an inartistic way. The outside is of the pale castaneous colour 

 of weathered felspar porphyry. The ornament is rather peculiar.
