On Vessels found at West Thirston, Northumberland. By 

 George H. Thompson, Alnwick. 



About the year 1884, the articles, which are figured in the 

 annexed cuts, were found in ploughing- up a field near West 

 Thirston, a small village lying on the south side of the Coquet, 

 opposite to Felton. The field had long ago been a bog, and it 

 would be during that time that they had been deposited in it for 

 safety, and never afterwards recovered. 



Fro. 1. 



The smaller one (Fig. 1) measures six inches across the top, 

 five and a quarter inches inside, and the handle seven inches. 

 The upper row of holes runs at a distauce of an inch from the 

 rim, but is not continued for three inches behind the handle. 

 The next two rows run quite round. The bottom is wanting ; 

 but where broken off, the inward curving of the metal shows 

 that the depth would probably have been two and a half inches, 

 or a little more.
